The only way is down when it comes to Great Coates lease terms. Great Coates leaseholds that have a lease term lower than eighty years will drop in value at a rapid rate, and the cost of extending your lease will rise.
It is generally accepted that a property with over 100 years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.

Cameron was the the leasehold owner of a 2 bedroom flat in Great Coates being sold with a lease of fraction over fifty eight years outstanding. Cameron informally approached his freeholder a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The freeholder indicated a willingness to grant an extension taking the lease to 125 years subject to a new rent at the outset set at £100 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. Ordinarily, ground rent would not be payable on a lease extension were Cameron to invoke his statutory right. Cameron procured expert legal guidance and secured satisfactory resolution without resorting to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Last Spring we were called by Dr W Miller , who moved into a newly refurbished apartment in Great Coates in October 1998. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) premium could be to prolong the lease by ninety years. Similar flats in Great Coates with an extended lease were in the region of £275,000. The average ground rent payable was £55 billed quarterly. The lease ended in 2102. Taking into account 76 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus expenses.
Last Spring we were called by Dr H Ali , who was assigned a lease of a basement apartment in Great Coates in March 2001. The dilemma was if we could approximate the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar flats in Great Coates with 100 year plus lease were worth £176,200. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £65 invoiced yearly. The lease lapsed on 14 January 2082. Having 56 years outstanding we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £29,500 and £34,000 exclusive of fees.
