I own a leasehold flat in Charmouth. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have been told that I should not let the lease length fall too low. Is this correct?
Charmouth residential long term leases are for a set term - often 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Charmouth were built or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
