Market Weighton property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

Leasehold residencies in Market Weighton with over one hundred years unexpired on the lease are often regarded as a ‘virtual freehold’. This is where the lease value the same as a freehold interest in your premises. In such situations there is often little to be gained by buying the freehold unless savings on ground rent and estate charges justify it.
