We own a leasehold flat in Rhymney. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Is this correct?
Rhymney residential long term leases are for a set period - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However many appartments in Rhymney were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under eighty years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have a minimum of 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 the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
