I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Egham by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and ask them to they chase the other lawyers, try to a target completion date that everyone will work towards
I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Egham. Does the conveyancing solicitor order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is advertised.

I am planning to move house in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Egham. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only take place once the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Egham or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Egham.
I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Egham. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Your original mortgage agreement with Leeds Building Society will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Egham is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Egham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Egham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Egham may ascertain 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 property.
