The rule of thumb is, all other things holding equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Goodmayes may extend the lease for an additional 90 years in accordance with legislation. Do give careful consideration before delaying your Goodmayes lease extension. Postponing that expense now simply escalates the premium you will eventually be required to pay to extend the lease.
Leasehold premises in Goodmayes with in excess of 100 years unexpired on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.
