I own a leasehold flat in Cross Hands. Conveyancing was finalised in five years ago. I have read on various consumer forums that I should not allow the lease length fall too short. What is the reasoning?

Cross Hands residential long term leases are for a fixed term - normally 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Cross Hands were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have under eighty years left to run. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to 75 years. To maximise your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
