I own a leasehold flat in Burghfield Common. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have read on numerous consumer forums that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?

Burghfield Common leasehold properties are for a set term - normally just under one hundred years when they started. However a significant flats in Burghfield Common were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have less than eighty years left to run. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
