The only way is down when it comes to Yardley lease terms. Yardley leaseholds that have a residual term less than than 80 years will de-escalate in value even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will increase.
Leasehold premises in Yardley with over one hundred years outstanding on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your property. In such situations there is often little to be gained by purchasing the reversionary interest unless savings on ground rent and estate charges warrant it.

Dr Alfie Martínez took over the lease of a garden flat in Yardley in June 1998. The question was if we could estimate the price would be for a 90 year extension to my lease. Similar premises in Yardley with 100 year plus lease were valued about £213,600. The average ground rent payable was £60 billed yearly. The lease expired on 23 January 2083. Taking into account 57 years unexpired we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be between £30,400 and £35,200 exclusive of legals.
Last Summer we were contacted by Mr and Mrs. J Lambert , who bought a newly refurbished apartment in Yardley in July 2001. The dilemma was if we could estimate the price could be for a ninety year lease extension. Comparative properties in Yardley with 100 year plus lease were valued about £200,000. The average ground rent payable was £50 collected every twelve months. The lease ran out on 2 November 2103. Having 77 years as a residual term we estimated the compensation to the freeholder for the lease extension to be within £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional charges.
