I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my rented apartment in Batley by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your tenancy until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve
It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Batley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Batley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I require expedited conveyancing in Batley as I am under a deadline to complete within one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in Batley the following are instances of what can be revealed and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Batley completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Batley. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
