We own a leasehold flat in Holbrook. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have read on numerous consumer forums that I should not let the lease length get too short. Why is that a problem?

Holbrook domestic long term leases are for a set term - usually 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant flats in Holbrook were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years unexpired. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally require leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To maximise your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
