I own a leasehold flat in Welwyn Garden City. Conveyancing was completed in 21012. I have been told that I should not let the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?
Welwyn Garden City leasehold properties are for a fixed term - often 99 years when they commenced. However many appartments in Welwyn Garden City were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years left to run. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
