I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out flat in Chandlers Ford by 2/1/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your tenancy unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim to achieve
The Chandlers Ford conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Chandlers Ford have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I had to have a lawyer on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my family Chandlers Ford lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.
