I own a leasehold flat in Swinton. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have been told that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to fall too short. What is the reasoning?

Swinton residential long term leases are for a fixed period - usually 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Swinton were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years unexpired. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
