I own a leasehold flat in Burnham On Sea. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too low. Is this correct?

Burnham On Sea domestic long term leases are for a set term - often ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many appartments in Burnham On Sea were built or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under eighty years left to run. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have a minimum of 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 increase the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
