The market value of Long Itchington leasehold residential property falls as the lease term becomes shorter and this will have an impact on its saleability. The cost of a lease extension can increase significantly once the unexpired lease term is less than 80 years
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to any lease with more than 35 years left, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.
