Chorleywood and Rickmansworth domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need 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 to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To optimize your property value 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 reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
