I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out apartment in Conisborough by 23/2/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they chase the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look to achieve
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Conisborough. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Conisborough?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Conisborough. Our aim is to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property involve enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are allowed?

Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I'm buying my first flat in Conisborough with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Is this normal?.
