We own a leasehold flat in Hanworth. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I should not let the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?

Hanworth residential long term leases are for a set period - often just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many appartments in Hanworth were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have less than 80 years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have at least seventy five years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching eighty years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
