I own a leasehold flat in Homerton. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Homerton residential long term leases are for a fixed period - often just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many appartments in Homerton were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years left to run. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need 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 seventy five years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
