I own a leasehold flat in Tenterden. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have heard that I mustn’t let the lease length get too low. What is the reasoning?
Tenterden residential long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually ninety nine years when they commenced. However many appartments in Tenterden were built or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have at least 75 years remaining 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 increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
