I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Nantwich by 7/10/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the sellers lawyers, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim to achieve

It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Nantwich. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Nantwich involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Nantwich and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Nantwich. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Nantwich area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Nantwich. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I inherited a split level flat in Nantwich, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

You have 64 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence.

My boyfriend is purchasing a ground floor flat in Nantwich. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancer connected to the estate agents and it came to £1245 . It was eight years ago I sold and purchased a house and the bill was £just under five hundred pounds. Have fees really gone up that much?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Nantwich searches, land registry fees, etc)
