I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Pentyrch by 1/5/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and ask them to they chase the owners lawyers, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim towards
We are due to move home in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Pentyrch. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Pentyrch or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Pentyrch.
Can I be sure that the Pentyrch conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Pentyrch seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Pentyrch building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Pentyrch conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
