I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented property in Cannington by . Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Cannington and how can you help?

There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Cannington

With 50 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations.
