I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Meir by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards
Just bought a terraced house in Meir , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Meir conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Meir registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am purchasing my first flat in Meir benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Meir is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Meir are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Meir you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Meir may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Meir and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We are in the process of acquiring a apartment in Meir. Conveyancing is not yet done but we wish to have our purchase price a secret from sites such as Zoopla. what can I do to ensure this is not disclosed?
The Land Registry by statute are obliged to reveal price sold data on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide including properties in Meir. The Title Register is a public document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory duty excluded certain homes such as the property in Meir.
You can ask the Land Registry to hide the price paid data but the response would be in the negative.
