We own a leasehold flat in Gerrards Cross. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have been told that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too short. What is the reasoning?

Gerrards Cross domestic long term leases are for a set term - normally 99 years when they started. However a significant appartments in Gerrards Cross were constructed or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than 80 years left to run. That may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
