I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented flat in Alvaston by 27/6/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they chase the other solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will work to achieve
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Alvaston house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Alvaston.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Alvaston I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Alvaston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Alvaston and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to business lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Alvaston
