We own a leasehold flat in Irthlingborough. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have been told that I mustn’t let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Why is that a problem?

Irthlingborough residential long term leases are for a prescribed term - often ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Irthlingborough were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years unexpired. This may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally need 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 to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
