Although this question relates to London the answer will vary by a very large amount depending on the area. In central london, shorter leases are more common and so will not have such a major effect on price. If the property is in the suburbs a 72 year lease will be worth much less than a 99 year lease. Your best bet is to get a good local agent out to give you their opinion, if you let me know where you are I should be able to recommend one.

This would be dependent on two factors the flexibility and relationship you have with your freeholder (if he is going to be fair about a lease extension) and secondly the current value of the property. Could I request that I provide you with a valuation and you can see exactley what the price is of your property and the best way to tackle the situation with the lease! Regards Brooke Pursey
