I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out property in Crymych by 3/6/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Crymych. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Should our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Crymych.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Crymych. There are those who purchase a house in Crymych, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Crymych. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be conducted.
