I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented apartment in Wragby by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards

Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Wragby?

My wife and I are spending time looking at flats in Wragby and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Coventry BS.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Wragby building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Wragby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Wragby. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Wragby Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries before buying

    Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are content with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have owned the property for 24 months in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension. Are there any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance charges? It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other major work is pending that will be shared by the leaseholders and could well materially impact the level of the service fees or require a one time payment.

We recently discovered that one of the directors of the solicitors handling the purchase conveyancing in Wragby is related to the seller. Is this acceptable?

On the basis that no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the bank may have a say as many banks have specific requirements on this. For example for Clydesdale Bank as of 13/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, in the circumstances stated in part 1 of the handbook.
