I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Knottingley by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to a target completion date that all parties will work towards
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Knottingley. Now, I need my files but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Knottingley I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Knottingley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
