However a significant appartments in Birkenshaw were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years unexpired. This may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions tend to need leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching seventy five years. To optimize the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to taking action before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
