I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented property in Polegate by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

I am assisting my niece sell her house in Polegate. Will the conveyancer arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments became a compulsory part of selling a house. An EPC must be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Polegate conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established Polegate assessors
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Polegate conveyancing solicitors were chosen. How long does it take for Clydesdale to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale completed the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums.

Is this relevant for conveyancing in Polegate?
Unless a previous purchase of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Polegate to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

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.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a house in Neath but I am based in Polegate. My lawyer (approximately 200 miles awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before completion.
