I own a leasehold flat in St Leonards On Sea. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have heard that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?
St Leonards On Sea domestic long term leases are for a fixed period - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant appartments in St Leonards On Sea were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than 80 years unexpired. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
