I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Gunnersbury by 25/3/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your tenancy until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look towards

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we wish to carry out improvements to our house in Gunnersbury. Are we obliged to select a nearby Gunnersbury solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Clydesdale would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.

The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up TSB or the broker and complete any relevant forms. TSB will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. TSB will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Gunnersbury.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Gunnersbury , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Gunnersbury conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Gunnersbury is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

The primary upside of using a high street Gunnersbury conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Gunnersbury know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Gunnersbury conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
My fiance and I may need to rent out our Gunnersbury 1st floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Gunnersbury conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease governs relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Gunnersbury do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the sublease.
Following years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Gunnersbury. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
