I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Claverdon by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and ask them to they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will aim to achieve

The Claverdon conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Claverdon have without warning shut down. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Claverdon lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham 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 assist.

I'm buying a new build house in Claverdon with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
My step-father has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Claverdon. Should I choose my own solicitor?
