I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented flat in Manor Park by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, contact to your lawyer and ask them to they cajole the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards
I am selling our house in Manor Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Manor Park. We have lived in Manor Park for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 ailment)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Manor Park. 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 conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Manor Park

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Manor Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Manor Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Manor Park. I have land on a site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via web that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

What are the frequently found deficiencies that you encounter in leases for Manor Park properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Manor Park. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Skipton Building Society, and Aldermore all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
