Leeds leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - usually ninety nine years when they started. However a significant appartments in Leeds were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have less than eighty years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally need 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 to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing seventy five years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is less than 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
