The only way is down when it comes to Chessington lease terms. Chessington leaseholds that have a residual term shorter than eighty years will reduce in market price even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will go up.
It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of 100 years remaining is worth roughly the equivalent as a freehold. Where an further 90 years added to any lease with more than 45 years left, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for many years in the future.

Following unsuccessful correspondence with the freeholder of her ground floor apartment in Chessington, Isabella commenced the lease extension process just as her lease was coming close to the all-important 80-year deadline. The transaction was finalised in April 2007. The landlord’s charges were kept to an absolute minimum.
Ms A Anderson moved into a studio flat in Chessington in June 1998. We are asked if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price could be to extend the lease by a further 90 years. Comparable flats in Chessington with a long lease were in the region of £210,600. The average amount of ground rent was £45 collected quarterly. The lease elapsed on 4 January 2088. Considering the 62 years remaining we calculated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £18,100 and £20,800 exclusive of legals.
