I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Neath Port Talbot by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and urge them to they chase the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards
The Neath Port Talbot conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Neath Port Talbot have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my family Neath Port Talbot lawyer was not. I cut them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Neath Port Talbot and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Neath Port Talbot lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Neath Port Talbot. We have lived in Neath Port Talbot for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 ailment)
I used Arc property Solicitors a few years past for my conveyancing in Neath Port Talbot. I now require my papers but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

I'm purchasing my first flat in Neath Port Talbot with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
