The only way is down when it comes to Appleton lease terms. Appleton properties that have a lease term shorter than eighty years will reduce in value at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will go up.
It is generally accepted that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
