The basic rule is, all other factors being equal, the shorter the lease the more costly the premium. Qualifying leaseholders in Yarm On Tees can extend the lease for an additional ninety years in accordance with the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. Please think carefully before delaying your Yarm On Tees lease extension. Shelving the costs now simply escalates the amount you will ultimately have to pay to extend the lease.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years unexpired, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years in the future.

Half a year ago Harvey, started to get near to the 80-year threshold with the lease on his ground floor flat in Yarm On Tees.
