Chances are that where you own a flat in Henllan you actually own a long leasehold interest over your property
It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with more than one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.
