I own a leasehold flat in Woolavington. Conveyancing was finalised in 2011. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too low. Is this right?
Woolavington residential long term leases are for a set term - normally 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Woolavington were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years unexpired. This may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
