The value of Bloxham leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of a lease extension can escalate materialy once the remaining term is less than eighty years
It is generally accepted that a property with over 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Last Spring we were called by Mr and Mrs. I Lambert , who moved into a basement apartment in Bloxham in October 2001. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar residencies in Bloxham with an extended lease were valued about £256,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed per annum. The lease terminated in 2078. Considering the 52 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £41,800 and £48,400 exclusive of legals.
In 2013 we were contacted by Mrs Rhiannon Allen who, having moved into a purpose-built flat in Bloxham in September 1995.
