We own a leasehold flat in Rogiet. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?
Rogiet domestic long term leases are for a fixed period - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant appartments in Rogiet were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years remaining. This may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching 75 years. To optimize your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
