I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented flat in Page Green by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

My uncle passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Page Green. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £5k. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you plan to re-mortgage then TSB will require that you use a conveyancer on the TSB conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your TSB conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the TSB mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Page Green I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Page Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities 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.
