I own a leasehold flat in Much Hadham. Conveyancing was finished in 21012. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Much Hadham domestic long term leases are for a set period - usually ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Much Hadham were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
