We own a leasehold flat in Idle. Conveyancing was completed in 21012. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?
Idle leasehold properties are for a fixed period - often 99 years when they started. However many flats in Idle were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
