I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Bishops Stortford by 20/1/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they chase the owners lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look towards

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Bishops Stortford I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bishops Stortford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
