I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out apartment in Headley by 17/6/2024. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your lease unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your lawyer and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim towards
It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Headley. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Headley involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

How does conveyancing in Headley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Headley approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Headley tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Headley or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Headley is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Headley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Headley you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Headley may decide 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.
