The market value of a leasehold property in Petersham is impacted by how long the lease has left to run. If it is near to or fewer than eighty years you should envisage difficulties on re-sale, so it is advisable to arrange for a lease extension prior to buying. It is preferable to commence the process of extending the lease is when the lease still has 82 years remaining so that formalities can be addressed in advance of the eighty year mark.
