I own a leasehold flat in Loughborough. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have read on various advice forums that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. What is the reasoning?
Loughborough leasehold properties are for a set period - usually ninety nine years when they started. However a significant flats in Loughborough were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have under 80 years left to run. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally 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 to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
