I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented apartment in Christchurch by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and urge them to they cajole the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look towards
Are the Christchurch conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Clydesdale?
Christchurch conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for hinderance in Christchurch house deals. Is that correct?

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Christchurch concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Christchurch I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Christchurch for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
