I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my let out apartment in Rotherham by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Rotherham or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Rotherham.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Rotherham. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property include enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Rotherham will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Rotherham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rotherham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rotherham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rotherham 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 residence.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Rotherham with the aim of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Rotherham can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. A minority of Rotherham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Organising a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Rotherham home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Rotherham state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you dont have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand.
