We own a leasehold flat in Cholsey. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?
Cholsey leasehold properties are for a set period - normally just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Cholsey were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years remaining. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole require leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to adequate security. 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 your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
