For those whose Coedpoeth property is held on a long lease, the message is clear – if no remedial action is taken, your property will eventually revert to your landlord, leaving you empty-handed. The shorter the lease the less it is worth and the more it will cost to extend the lease.
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
