I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out apartment in Beacon Hill by 1/7/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your tenancy until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and ask them to they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to a target completion date that everyone will look to achieve
We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Beacon Hill who is on the Lloyds solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Lloyds . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Beacon Hill.
My partner and I are planning on selling our property in Beacon Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Beacon Hill lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Beacon Hill. We have lived in Beacon Hill for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Beacon Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Beacon Hill conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Beacon Hill registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Beacon Hill and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Beacon Hill
