The only way is down when it comes to Fairford lease terms. Fairford properties that have a remaining term lower than 80 years will reduce in market price even faster, and the cost to extend your lease will go up.
It is conventional wisdom that a residential leasehold with in excess of 100 years unexpired lease term is worth approximately the same as a freehold. Where an additional 90 years added to any lease with more than 35 years unexpired, the premises will be worth the same as a freehold for decades to come.

Edward owned a conversion flat in Fairford being sold with a lease of fraction over sixty years left. Edward informally spoke with his freeholder being a well known Manchester-based freehold company and enquired on a premium to extend the lease. The landlord was prepared to give an extension on non-statutory terms taking the lease to 125 years subject to a rise in the rent to £125 yearly. No ground rent would be due on a lease extension were Edward to invoke his statutory right. Edward obtained expert advice and secured an acceptable resolution without resorting to tribunal and ending up with a market value flat.
Mr James Murphy owned a garden apartment in Fairford in January 1998. We are asked if we could estimate the premium would likely be for a ninety year extension to my lease. Comparative homes in Fairford with 100 year plus lease were worth £290,000. The mid-range amount of ground rent was £45 collected monthly. The lease concluded on 23 May 2099. Taking into account 73 years left we approximated the premium to the landlord for the lease extension to be within £9,500 and £11,000 plus fees.
Mr and Mrs. K Anderson purchased a garden flat in Fairford in June 2004. The dilemma was if we could shed any light on how much (roughly) price would be for a ninety year lease extension. Identical properties in Fairford with a long lease were in the region of £240,600. The mid-range ground rent payable was £65 invoiced every twelve months. The lease elapsed on 17 July 2088. Given that there were 62 years remaining we approximated the premium to the landlord to extend the lease to be within £21,900 and £25,200 not including legals.
