I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Newport Pagnell by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they apply pressure on the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve
My wife and I are buying a apartment in Newport Pagnell. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Are all Newport Pagnell Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Newport Pagnell property lawyer on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Newport Pagnell.
I have todaybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Newport Pagnell for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises 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 Newport Pagnell conveyancing specialists.

My wife and I have instructed a Newport Pagnell conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be concerned or is that standard with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They should be regulated by the SRA, who dictate strict laws covering funds held by them.
