The value of Conisborough leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The expense of extending the lease can escalate significantly once the remaining term is less than eighty years
It is conventional wisdom 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 remaining, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Sebastian owned a 2 bedroom apartment in Conisborough on the market with a lease of a few days over sixty years outstanding. Sebastian on an informal basis contacted his landlord a well known Bristol-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to grant an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £200 per annum and doubled every twenty five years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Sebastian to exercise his statutory right. Sebastian procured expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution informally and ending up with a market value flat.
