I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Bushey by 17/6/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Bushey completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Bushey I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bushey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
