I own a leasehold flat in Radcliffe on Trent. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have heard that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Radcliffe on Trent leasehold properties are for a set term - normally just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However many flats in Radcliffe on Trent were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so such leases now have less than eighty years unexpired. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need 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 a lease extension if you are nearing 75 years. To optimize your property value you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
