There are good reasons why a North Walsham leaseholder with a lease having around eighty years unexpired should take steps to ensure that a lease extension is effected without delay

An extended lease has roughly the same value as a freehold

It is generally considered that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for decades to come.
