I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must leave my let out flat in Chilwell by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your lease until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will work to achieve

I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Chilwell for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chilwell conveyancing specialists.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Chilwell
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Chilwell conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Chilwell. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Chilwell who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Chilwell conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Chilwell, conveyancing was carried out December 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Chilwell with over 90 years remaining are worth £221,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2095
With just 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
