I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented property in Coven by 9/6/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards

My partner and I are selling our house in Coven and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Coven. Having lived in Coven for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Do I need to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Coven conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward solicitors to instruct. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of banks specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.

I am looking at a two flats in Coven which have in the region of forty five years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Coven. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.

The answer will be important as a) areas can result in problems in the building as the common areas may begin to deteriorate where services are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to know about it Who are the managing agents? Where a Coven lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for 24 months before you are eligible to carry out a lease extension.
