I own a leasehold flat in Milton Keynes. Conveyancing was finalised in last year. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. What is the reasoning?

Milton Keynes leasehold properties are for a fixed term - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Milton Keynes were constructed or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have less than eighty years remaining. That may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To enhance your property value 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 reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
