I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must leave my let out flat in Sheffield by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

We are buying a purpose built flat in Sheffield with a loan from Skipton Building Society.We use our Sheffield conveyancing practitioner but Skipton Building Society advised that her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Sheffield being more expensive?
Buying a new build property is significantly distinct from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Sheffield. Firstly housebuilders ordinarily insist contracts to exchange very quickly, the result being a lot of pressure on your lawyer to ensure everything is in order. Furthermore new build premises frequently necessitate examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Mortgage lender requirements are also more demanding. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
