I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Elm Park by 5/3/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your letting until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and request that they chase the other solicitors, try to a target completion date that everyone will work to achieve

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Do I need to be suspicious by third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Elm Park conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all recommend lawyers to instruct. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
I want to rent out my leasehold flat in Elm Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your last Elm Park conveyancing lawyer is not around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
