I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Earls Barton by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they apply pressure on the sellers side, try to a target completion date that all parties will look to achieve

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Earls Barton. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage went though with no issue.

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Earls Barton conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
