The only way is down when it comes to Wellesbourne lease terms. Wellesbourne leaseholds that have a residual term shorter than eighty years will de-escalate in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost to extend your lease will increase.
Leasehold properties in Wellesbourne with in excess of one hundred years remaining on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’.

In such circumstances there is often little upside in purchasing the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.
