We own a leasehold flat in Stokenchurch. Conveyancing was finalised in 2010. I have read on a number of advice forums that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?
Stokenchurch residential long term leases are for a set period - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However many flats in Stokenchurch were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining 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 maximise the saleability of your property you should be considering 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 reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
