We own a leasehold flat in Addington. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?

Addington leasehold properties are for a fixed term - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Addington were built or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
