I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Tunstall by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tunstall ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
