I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Swinton by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and ask them to they apply pressure on the other side, try to a target completion date that everyone will work towards
At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Swinton and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Swinton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Swinton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Swinton I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Swinton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold house in Swinton. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Swinton who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Swinton conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My solicitors in Swinton have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
