I own a leasehold flat in Skellingthorpe. Conveyancing was completed in last year. I have heard that I should not allow the lease length fall too low. What is the reasoning?

Skellingthorpe residential long term leases are for a set period - normally ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Skellingthorpe were built or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have less than 80 years remaining. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching 75 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. Furthermore advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
