I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented flat in Blackwell by 11/6/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

I am buying a new build flat in Blackwell. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Blackwell
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Blackwell I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blackwell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
At what point do I cover the costs of stamp duty chargeable for my conveyancing in Blackwell?
The majority of conveyancers will complete a stamp duty return for you during your Blackwell conveyancing transaction for you to sign. After completion your conveyancing practitioner will submit the STL Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the money - discharge any land tax liability for you.
