The only way is down when it comes to Camborne lease terms. Camborne flats that have a residual term lower than eighty years will de-escalate in value at a rapid rate, and the cost to extend your lease will rise.
It is generally accepted that a residential leasehold with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Samuel owned a high value apartment in Camborne being sold with a lease of just over sixty years remaining. Samuel on an informal basis spoke with his freeholder being a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was keen to agree an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent initially set at £200 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Samuel to invoke his statutory right. Samuel obtained expert advice and was able to make an informed decision and deal with the matter and sell the property.
In 2009 we were phoned by Ms Daisy Davies who, having completed a purpose-built apartment in Camborne in February 2003. The question was if we could estimate the price would be to extend the lease by ninety years. Comparable premises in Camborne with a long lease were in the region of £176,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 collected monthly. The lease terminated on 11 January 2082. Considering the 56 years remaining we calculated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £29,500 and £34,000 not including legals.
In 2014 we were contacted by Mr R Garcia who, having purchased a basement apartment in Camborne in February 2008. We are asked if we could approximate the price would likely be to extend the lease by 90 years. Identical properties in Camborne with 100 year plus lease were worth £242,600. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced per annum. The lease terminated on 17 November 2093. Having 67 years outstanding we calculated the compensation to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £11,400 and £13,200 not including legals.
