I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my let out property in Adderbury by 11/6/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they seek the assistance the owners lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will work towards
The Adderbury conveyancing firm that just started acting on my house acquisition in Adderbury have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel and my family Adderbury lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Principality conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to help.
Will our conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Adderbury.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Adderbury.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Adderbury. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro report. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Adderbury I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Adderbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
