About to place an offer on a leasehold property in Kenley. The property agents assure me that it is standard for flats in Kenley to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am taking out a loan with Chelsea Building Society. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 70 years to go.
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 1/7/2025 the requirements read as follows :
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Kenley completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We are 17 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Kenley. I am am very dissatisfied with the level of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has the loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Kenley. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Kenley conveyancing firm to represent me?
