We own a leasehold flat in Filton. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have read on various consumer forums that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Filton residential long term leases are for a set period - usually just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Filton were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing 75 years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
