I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented apartment in Sandwich by 10/9/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your letting unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the other solicitors, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will look towards

we are a couple who are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Sandwich with a loan from Barclays Direct.We use our Sandwich conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct advised that he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Sandwich. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sandwich
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Sandwich I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sandwich in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Some months ago I was advised by my mortgage company that their panel solicitors operate no move no fee basis for conveyancing in Sandwich. I had a purchase abort nevertheless the lawyers have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!
Sandwich conveyancing search fees are disbursements not legal fees as these are payable to a third party.
