I own a leasehold flat in Piccadilly. Conveyancing was finalised in five years ago. I have read on various consumer forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Is this correct?
Piccadilly leasehold properties are for a set period - usually 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Piccadilly were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under 80 years remaining. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have a minimum of 75 years left to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
