I own a leasehold flat in Llanfairfechan. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too short. Is this correct?
Llanfairfechan domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - normally 99 years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Llanfairfechan were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years remaining. This may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have a minimum of 75 years left 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 eighty years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
