We own a leasehold flat in South West London. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have been told that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to get too low. What is the reasoning?

South West London domestic long term leases are for a fixed period - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in South West London were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under 80 years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
