I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out flat in Morfa Nefyn by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and urge them to they cajole the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards
My husband and I wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Morfa Nefyn with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester .We have a Morfa Nefyn conveyancing solicitor but Alliance & Leicester informed us she’s not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Alliance & Leicester panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Alliance & Leicester use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Alliance & Leicester approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Alliance & Leicester

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Morfa Nefyn where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Morfa Nefyn conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
