The only way is down when it comes to West Thurrock lease terms. West Thurrock flats that have a lease term fewer than 80 years will de-escalate in market price even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will rise.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with over one hundred years remaining is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 30 years unexpired, the residence will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
