I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Manor House by 12/5/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, update to your lawyer and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look towards
My property lawyer in Manor House is not listed on the Bank of Ireland Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Bank of Ireland list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Manor House lawyers but Bank of Ireland will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Bank of Ireland panel
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Manor House. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Manor House I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Manor House suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Me and my partner are soon to complete buying a house in Manor House but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
The lawyer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform the bank of any variations to the purchase price. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to your bank then they would have no choice but to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
