I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out apartment in Edenthorpe by 12/3/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and ask them to they chase the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim towards

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Edenthorpe is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Edenthorpe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
