I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented property in Kinver by 13/5/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

If you have not previously done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve
We are purchasing a property in Kinver. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

We had selected conveyancers located in Kinver on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Kinver conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Kinver. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Kinver. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you clear the invoice as normal as all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
