I own a leasehold flat in Dulverton. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I should not let the lease length fall too low. What is the reasoning?

Dulverton leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - usually just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Dulverton were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years unexpired. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally require leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To maximise your property value you should be thinking about 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 eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
