This page is for residents who have bought their leasehold home from West Kent and who now own 100% of the equity. Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions from our leaseholders.
This section is not for shared owners.
Paying for works or services
Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 (amended by section 151 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002) says we must consult you about some of the works and services your lease says you must pay for.
Dispensation from Section 20 for buildings insurance
We have dispensation from the First Tier Tribunal for permission to not consult with residents for the renewal of our buildings insurance policy, as we usually would under Section 20 of the Act.
