The only way is down when it comes to Hornsea lease terms. Hornsea leaseholds that have a residual term shorter than eighty years will de-escalate in market price even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will increase.
It is generally accepted that a property with over one hundred years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years remaining, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
