The basic rule is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more expensive the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Clacton On Sea may extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with statute. Do think carefully before delaying your Clacton On Sea lease extension. Putting off that expense now simply escalates the price you will eventually have to pay for a lease extension.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.
