Chadwell Heath residential property owned on a long lease is a depreciating asset as the leaseholder only owns the property for a set term.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with more than 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the equivalent as a freehold. Where an additional ninety years added to all but the shortest lease, the property will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.
