Queen's Park residential property held on a long lease is a depreciating asset as the leaseholder merely owns the property for a period of years.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
