I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out property in Stoke Bishop by 14/5/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your tenancy until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look to achieve
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Bishop what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Stoke Bishop conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a required part of moving house. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange.

There is not much else in Stoke Bishop for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
