I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented property in Aughton by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve

How does conveyancing in Aughton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Aughton approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Aughton typically acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Aughton or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Aughton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aughton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Aughton. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount by the landlord. To date we have forked out £237 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £200 plus VAT for responses to queries supplied by the purchaser's conveyancing practitioner.
Neither you or your conveyancing practitioner will have any control over the extent of the fee for this information but the typical costs for the information for Aughton leasehold premises is £380. When it comes to Aughton conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the vendor to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to address these questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates capped fees for administrative tasks. Neither is there any set time limit by which they are obliged to provide the information.
