We own a leasehold flat in Burnt Oak. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have read on a number of advice forums that I should not let the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?
Burnt Oak leasehold properties are for a fixed period - usually ninety nine years when they started. However many appartments in Burnt Oak were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To maximise your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
