I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented flat in Wilton by 12/10/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your lease until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they cajole the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Wilton. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Wilton relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Wilton for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wilton conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wilton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Wilton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wilton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wilton 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.

I dont have enough spare money to pay a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Wilton , but I am anxious exchange. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lesser deposit. Most sellers will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
