Yes. Our solicitors at Arcadia Law are fully regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) — the official body that oversees all solicitors and law firms in England and Wales.
This regulation means that every aspect of the service you receive is delivered in line with strict ethical, professional, and legal standards, giving you complete peace of mind throughout the lease extension process.
⚖️ What SRA regulation means for you
By choosing an SRA-regulated firm, you benefit from:
- Professional and ethical standards
Arcadia Law must comply with the SRA Code of Conduct, which sets out clear rules on client care, confidentiality, fairness, and integrity. - Lawful and secure handling of your case
All notices, contracts, and legal documents relating to your lease extension are prepared and managed in accordance with the law, ensuring your interests are fully protected. - Independent oversight and accountability
If any issues ever arose, the SRA provides a clear framework for complaints, investigations, and redress.
💰 Protection of client funds
One of the most important aspects of SRA regulation is the way client money is handled:
- All payments made towards your lease extension (such as the freeholder’s premium or legal costs) are placed into a designated client account.
- These accounts are strictly controlled, fully insured, and protected, so you can be confident that your money is safe at every stage.
- This level of financial protection is unique to regulated solicitors and is not available when using unregulated advisers.
✅ Why this matters in lease extensions
Extending a lease often involves large sums of money changing hands, alongside strict legal deadlines. Working with an SRA-regulated solicitor ensures:
- Funds are secure and insured.
- Your transaction is carried out lawfully and transparently.
- You receive advice and representation from solicitors who are accountable to the highest professional standards.
