I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Halstead by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim to achieve

I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Halstead for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Halstead conveyancing specialists.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a house in Neath but reside in Halstead. My lawyer (approximately 300 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Halstead. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Halstead - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
