We own a leasehold flat in Woolacombe. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have read on various consumer forums that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to get too short. Why is that a problem?

Woolacombe domestic long term leases are for a fixed period - normally 99 years when they started. However many appartments in Woolacombe were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years unexpired. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To maximise the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are advantages to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
