I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Armthorpe by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Armthorpe conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Barclays to send the offer to the solicitor?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Armthorpe off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
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. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold house in Armthorpe. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Armthorpe who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Armthorpe conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I bought a studio flat in Armthorpe, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
