Radcliffe on Trent residential property held on a long lease is a wasting asset because a leaseholder merely owns the property for a period of years.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
