I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Wembley Park by 11/6/2019. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your letting until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Wembley Park. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor.
I have instructed a Wembley Park conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wembley Park postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wembley Park.
