The only way is down when it comes to Allenton lease terms. Allenton properties that have a remaining term less than than 80 years will de-escalate in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost to extend your lease will go up.
It is generally accepted that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
