Woodcote Green residential property owned on a long lease is a depreciating asset because a leaseholder merely owns the property for a set term.
It is generally considered that a property with over one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the residence will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.
