I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented flat in Bishop Auckland by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, contact to your solicitor and urge them to they apply pressure on the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards
I own a freehold house in Bishop Auckland but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Bishop Auckland and has limited impact for conveyancing in Bishop Auckland but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Bishop Auckland and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

My husband and I are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Bishop Auckland. We are not happy. Could you help me find new solicitors?
A solicitor would have to be really bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the new contact details and have the loan are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental fees and complications. So that should be your starting point.

New build sellers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought an estimate from them. It's almost £300 cheaper than my preferred Bishop Auckland conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Housebuilders normally have lists of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to select a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancer is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your local Bishop Auckland conveyancer.
