I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out apartment in Walthamstow Village by 27/2/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice for your letting until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards

My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Walthamstow Village. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Walthamstow Village and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I'm converting the mortgage on my existing property to a BTL mortgage with Britannia and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on further property.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Walthamstow Village where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Walthamstow Village conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
