I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Crouch End by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

Generally one should not provide notice for your lease unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and ask them to they chase the other solicitors, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will aim to achieve

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Crouch End conveyancing lawyers are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being a right pain. The Crouch End solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Crouch End?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Crouch End. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Crouch End I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crouch End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
