We own a leasehold flat in Longton. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have been told that I should not allow the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?

Longton residential long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually ninety nine years when they started. However a significant flats in Longton were constructed or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have under eighty years left to run. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired 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 approaching eighty years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
