The only way is down when it comes to Wylam lease terms. Wylam flats that have a residual term less than than 80 years will reduce in market price at a rapid rate, and the cost to extend your lease will rise.
Leasehold premises in Wylam with over 100 years left on the lease are often referred to as ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease is worth the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such circumstances there is often little upside in buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and service charges merit it.

Last October Arthur, started to get close to the eighty-year mark with the lease on his leasehold flat in Wylam.

Luckily, he became aware that he would soon be paying an inflated amount for a lease extension. Arthur arranged for a lease extension at the eleventh hour in June. Arthur and the landlord eventually agreed on sum of £6,000 . If he failed to meet the deadline, the premium would have increased by a minimum £900.
