I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Clapham and Salph End off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons.

I have finally had an offer on a flat in Clapham and Salph End agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Clapham and Salph End. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Clapham and Salph End conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Clapham and Salph End I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Clapham and Salph End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
