I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented flat in Stoke Newington by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they cajole the other lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will work to achieve
We're in Stoke Newington, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Stoke Newington 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

How does conveyancing in Stoke Newington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stoke Newington approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Stoke Newington usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Stoke Newington or who has acted in the same development.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Newington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stoke Newington 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 property.
