The only way is down when it comes to Newquay lease terms. Newquay properties 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 rise.
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 worth the same as a freehold for many years ahead.

Felix was the the leasehold owner of a high value flat in Newquay on the market with a lease of a few days over sixty years left. Felix informally spoke with his freeholder a well known local-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord indicated a willingness to extend the lease to 125 years on the basis of a new rent at the outset set at £150 per annum and doubled every 25 years thereafter. No ground rent would be payable on a lease extension were Felix to exercise his statutory right. Felix obtained expert legal guidance and was able to make an informed decision and deal with the matter and readily saleable.
Last year we were phoned by Mr and Mrs. I Evans , who was assigned a lease of a ground floor apartment in Newquay in September 1998. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) price would be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparable properties in Newquay with an extended lease were in the region of £166,800. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £50 collected every twelve months. The lease termination date was in 2076. Having 50 years outstanding we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £32,300 and £37,400 not including legals.
Last Autumn we were called by Mr and Mrs. J Sharif , who took over the lease of a one bedroom flat in Newquay in January 2001. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) compensation to the landlord could be to extend the lease by 90 years. Comparative homes in Newquay with 100 year plus lease were in the region of £280,000. The average amount of ground rent was £45 invoiced quarterly. The lease elapsed in 2096. Given that there were 70 years as a residual term we approximated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 plus costs.
