Alperton residential property held on a long lease is a wasting asset as the leaseholder only owns the property for a set term.
It is generally considered that a property with more than 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
