Lending institutions will not issue a mortgage on a short lease

The propensity since 2008 has been for mortgage companies to tighten lending requirements across the board - this has extended to the types of security over which the home loan is to be charged. This has resulted in the minimum number of years remaining under the lease required by mortgage companies has increased. In the past mortgage companies were content with twenty years plus the term of the loan - typically fifty year leases but those requirements evolved by the requirement for longer and longer leases - many use a minimum term of 75 years as standard.
