I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out apartment in Moreton by 1/5/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they apply pressure on the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve

Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Moreton. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you have for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should retain a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the conveyancing.

If you have purchased leasehold premises the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Moreton. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Moreton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Moreton. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
About to purchase maisonette in Moreton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Moreton solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Moreton is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Moreton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moreton you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Moreton may determine 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 premises.
We are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Moreton. I am not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?

Developers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £400 less expensive than my own Moreton lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders often have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Moreton lawyer.
