I own a leasehold flat in Sprotbrough. Conveyancing was finished in 2011. I have heard that I should not let the lease length get too low. Why is that a problem?

Sprotbrough leasehold properties are for a set period - often 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Sprotbrough were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these 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 require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired 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 increase the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
