I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my let out property in Brinsworth by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

Having spent time looking at moneysavingexpert.com for a high-quality lawyer in Brinsworth, many comment that I must look for a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised quality mark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's biggest banks. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Brinsworth is one of the numerous areas in England and Wales where there are CQS lawyers.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Brinsworth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Brinsworth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Brinsworth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Brinsworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Brinsworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brinsworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brinsworth may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
