I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Cuffley by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

My husband and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Cuffley with a residential mortgage from .We like our Cuffley conveyancing practitioner but advised that he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them.

Unfortunately,no.

After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of moving house. An EPC needs to be to hand before the property is put on the market. It is not a task that lawyers normally arrange.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Cuffley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Cuffley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Cuffley is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Cuffley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cuffley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cuffley may determine 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.
