I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Blackfen by 10/11/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they apply pressure on the sellers lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will aim to achieve
A friend advised me that where I am buying in Blackfen I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Blackfen conveyancing searches.

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Blackfen.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Blackfen I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Blackfen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
