I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Prestbury by 9/4/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
How does conveyancing in Prestbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Prestbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Prestbury usually purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Prestbury or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Prestbury prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Prestbury. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Prestbury
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Prestbury conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
