I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented property in Abbey Wood by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your lease unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and request that they chase the owners lawyers, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim to achieve

I moved into my flat on 13 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Abbey Wood expressed confidence that it will be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Abbey Wood uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Abbey Wood registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Abbey Wood and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides protection to business lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Abbey Wood
