We own a leasehold flat in Penylan. Conveyancing was finalised in 2010. I have read on a number of advice forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Penylan leasehold properties are for a fixed term - often 99 years when they commenced. However many appartments in Penylan were built or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under 80 years left to run. This may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to 75 years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
