Your lease is gradually losing value. The shorter any remaining lease term becomes, the less it is worth – and as a result any extension of your lease gets more expensive. A short lease is usually more difficult to sell. Many purchasers are simply reluctant to purchase any lease with less than 90/95 years left. Mortgages are much harder to obtain on shorter leases. Some lenders simply refuse a mortgage on leases with under 60-70 years remaining.
Many tenants have the right to extend their lease by an additional 90 years under the 1993 Leasehold Reform Act. A leasehold property extension is something you really need to think about if your lease has between 70 and 90 years remaining. In particular once the remaining lease term slips under 80 years, the cost of any extension increases significantly.
Putting off that expense now simply increases the price you will eventually have to pay to extend your lease. That’s why we strongly recommend that you think twice before delaying your lease extension.
