I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Porthleven by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice for your tenancy unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they chase the other side, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will work to achieve
My wife and I are buying a property in Porthleven. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am purchasing a property in Porthleven. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Skipton your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Skipton where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Porthleven.
My fiancee and I are spending time viewing apartments in Porthleven and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it advisable to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Nottingham.
It would be wise to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Porthleven conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Porthleven. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
