I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out property in Poynton by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, contact to your solicitor and ask them to they chase the other solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will work to achieve
Having sold my house in Poynton last August yet the purchaser is whats apping every few hours to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Poynton.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Poynton with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Poynton conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Poynton conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Poynton conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?
I own a leasehold flat in Poynton, conveyancing having been completed June 1999. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Poynton with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2091
With just 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
