I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my let out flat in Gaydon by 5/1/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, update to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
I'm purchasing a new build house in Gaydon with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Gaydon. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Gaydon who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Gaydon conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I purchased a leasehold flat in Gaydon, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Gaydon with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2089
With only 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £15,200 and £17,600 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
