Quedgeley residential property held on a long lease is a wasting asset because a leaseholder merely owns the property for a set term.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Following unsuccessful negotiations with the landlord of her purpose-built flat in Quedgeley, Shannon commenced the lease extension process as the eighty year mark was fast advancing. The lease extension was concluded in March 2014. The freeholder’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.
In 2013 we were approached by Mr and Mrs. M Bonnet who, having was assigned a lease of a newly refurbished apartment in Quedgeley in February 2007. The question was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would likely be to prolong the lease by an additional years. Identical flats in Quedgeley with an extended lease were in the region of £235,200. The mid-range ground rent payable was £45 collected annually. The lease came to a finish in 2092. Considering the 66 years as a residual term we calculated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 exclusive of legals.
Last Summer we were e-mailed by Mr and Mrs. Y Alexander , who bought a studio flat in Quedgeley in August 2002. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (approximately) premium would be to prolong the lease by 90 years. Identical premises in Quedgeley with a long lease were in the region of £275,000. The mid-range ground rent payable was £55 collected every twelve months. The lease ran out on 15 June 2103. Having 77 years left we approximated the premium to the freeholder to extend the lease to be between £13,300 and £15,400 plus fees.
