I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Boreham by 26/6/2024. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice for your letting until you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they chase the sellers side, try to a target completion date that all parties will work to achieve
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Boreham?

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Boreham
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Boreham conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Skipton as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Boreham. Are we obliged to select a local Boreham solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Skipton would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Boreham has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up Skipton or the broker and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Skipton will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Skipton will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Boreham.
I am planning on selling our home in Boreham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Boreham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Boreham. We have lived in Boreham for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything.
