I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Hampden Pk by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and request that they apply pressure on the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards
We're in Hampden Pk, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am downsizing from our home in Hampden Pk and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hampden Pk. Having lived in Hampden Pk for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold flat in Hampden Pk. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Hampden Pk who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Hampden Pk conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
