There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kenley registration formalities.

Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Kenley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kenley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.

I own a leasehold flat in Kenley. Conveyancing was finalised in five years ago. I have read on numerous advice forums that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Why is that a problem?

Kenley domestic long term leases are for a fixed term - usually ninety nine years when they started. However many flats in Kenley were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have less than eighty years unexpired. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
