⚡ 2024 Act — Know the Facts
The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 received Royal Assent but most provisions are not yet in force. Current law provides a 90-year extension at peppercorn rent. Marriage value abolition and 990-year terms require commencement regulations — not yet made. The 2-year ownership requirement has been removed and peppercorn ground rent on extensions is already operative. We show you both scenarios — what you pay today and what you would pay when the 2024 Act is fully commenced.
London Victorian leasehold property
Millions of leaseholders don't know what their premium will be before spending thousands on professional fees.
The Problem

Leasehold Is
Needlessly Opaque

No transparency
Most leaseholders have no idea what their premium will be before spending £1,500 to £3,000 or more on a surveyor and solicitor in order to determine it.
Complex reform
The 2024 Act brought major changes — key provisions including marriage value abolition and 990-year terms are not yet in force — commencement regulations are still awaited. Most leaseholders don't know what is and isn't operative today.
The 80-year trap
Every year below 80 years remaining, your premium increases and your mortgage options narrow. Most leaseholders act too late.
Costly notices
On average, solicitors charge between £1,000 and £3,000 for a lease extension, including the statutory notice.

Why Trust Longhold

Professional Accuracy.
Without the Professional Bill.

Built by a practising Chartered Surveyor with deep knowledge of leasehold valuation. Not a generic calculator — a methodologically rigorous tool.

🏛
RICS Methodology
All premium calculations use established RICS leasehold valuation methodology — Sportelli deferment rates, RICS capitalisation rate guidance, and Upper Tribunal precedents. The same methodology used by practising valuers.
📊
Proprietary Land Registry Data
Relativity is calculated using established valuation methodology and Upper Tribunal precedents cross-referenced with the EPC Register — ground truth market evidence, not third-party graphs.
⚖
Legally Accurate
We show you both legal positions — what applies under current law today (90-year extension, marriage value where applicable) and what will apply when 2024 Act commencement regulations are made (990 years, no marriage value). No other tool makes this distinction clearly.
🔒
Information, Not Advice
Longhold provides high quality information to help you understand your position before instructing professionals. Every report includes a clear disclaimer and a pre-service checklist. We protect you, not ourselves.

About Longhold

Built by Property
Professionals

Most leaseholders spend thousands of pounds simply finding out what their premium will be — before a single notice has been served or a negotiation begun. That is the problem Longhold was built to solve.

Longhold was created by property professionals with deep expertise in residential valuation and the leasehold system in England and Wales. We understand what leaseholders actually need — not academic explanations, but clear, accurate figures that help them make informed decisions.

The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 has created enormous confusion. Leaseholders are being told marriage value has been abolished and 990-year extensions are available — but these provisions are not yet in force. We show both scenarios precisely: what you pay under current law today, and what you would pay when commencement regulations are made.

Our calculations use established valuation methodology, current deferment and capitalisation rates, and relativity derived from proprietary analysis of HM Land Registry Price Paid Data. Every output includes a comprehensive disclaimer. Longhold is an information service — always instruct a qualified RICS surveyor and specialist leasehold solicitor before serving any statutory notice.
