Short leases cover leases of properties for relatively brief terms and the way those terms affect rights, charges and future options. A solicitor in this area drafts or negotiates short leases, reviews existing leases for renewal or extension, and handles issues around service charges, ground rent, and forfeiture. They also advise on extending a lease or purchasing the freehold, and on applying to the Land Registry to register changes. The work often involves coordinating with freeholders, managing agents, and housing associations.
The decisive issues are the enforceability of the lease, deadlines for extensions or renewals, and the impact of lease terms on rights of occupancy and ownership. A solicitor provides guidance on securing proper documentation, ensuring correct calculation of charges, and navigating any disputes arising from service charges or renewals within statutory timeframes.

After a negative experience with another local solicitors we didn't hold out much hope for anything better. Lauren and her team worked hard to get us to complete on time, taking constant phonecalls and emails from us. Pushing and rooting for us. Finally the experience we wanted from solicitors! Thank you

Tagged solicitor Leona Ho
We have used Leona several times over the years for conveyancing and to draw up contracts. When we first met her several years ago, she was a trainee whose talent, work ethic and attention to detail was remarkable. We recently had a house to sell so we tracked Leona down to secure her amazing services for conveyancing. As always, she did not disappoint and the process was smooth and efficient. Leona is a very impressive legal professional but aside from her tremendous skill and knowledge, it's her warm personality and friendly manner that makes her such a pleasure to work with. We are not surprised that she recently won 'Lawyer of the Year' - very well deserved in our view.

Hay & Kilner have a reputation for being great and they were exactly that. Because of the way they are a large and well established firm, there were never any disruptions to the process of sorting our house sale or new purchase. The whole process was, in fact, extremely fast. The Hay & Kilner team kept us informed every step of the way and they were thoughtful and quick in doing so. It would would absolutely be fair to describe them as meeting or even exceeding the gold standard for conveyancing solicitors. The next time we need to sell or buy a property, we’ll return to Hay & Kilner.
