I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Fratton and Portsea by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look towards
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Fratton and Portsea. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Fratton and Portsea relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
We're in Fratton and Portsea, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
