I own a leasehold flat in King's Cross. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?

King's Cross residential long term leases are for a set period - often ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in King's Cross were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have less than eighty years unexpired. This may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing eighty years. To maximise the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. You should note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
