I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out flat in Kingsdown by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will aim towards
Do I have to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Kingsdown so that I can attend their offices when needed.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kingsdown is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Kingsdown are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kingsdown you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingsdown 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 residence.
