I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out property in Northamptonshire by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your tenancy until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look towards
We're in Northamptonshire, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer 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.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Northamptonshire. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Northamptonshire?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Northamptonshire. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Northamptonshire conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from RBS?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the survey? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Northamptonshire. I have a mortgage agreed with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

My folks are encountering problems in finding their Northamptonshire land registry title on the website. They have a vague memory back in the 70’s when they purchased the house there were complications with the address not being identified on some systems.
Almost all properties in Northamptonshire should appear. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The address may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s lender.
