I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out property in Irlam and Cadishead by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your lawyer and ask them to they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards

I'm buying my first flat in Irlam and Cadishead with a mortgage from TSB. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will put at risk my loan 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.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Irlam and Cadishead. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

My wife and I have selected a Irlam and Cadishead conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be governed by the SRA, who set strict rules in relation to monies deposited by them.
