I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out property in Barbican by 24/12/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they cajole the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards

I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Barbican. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?

After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was maintained a required component of selling a property. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Barbican conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local providers

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Barbican bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Barbican conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Barbican. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Barbican. I now require my papers but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Barbican of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

I am purchasing my first flat in Barbican with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
