I own a leasehold flat in New Inn. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have been told that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?
New Inn leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - often 99 years when they are first granted. However many flats in New Inn were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years unexpired. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
