I own a leasehold flat in Brunswick Park. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?
Brunswick Park residential long term leases are for a fixed period - usually 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Brunswick Park were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching 75 years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
