I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Quorn by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?

I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Quorn. Does the solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory part of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Quorn conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Quorn. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Quorn. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. Shortly after, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to business lessees, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Quorn
I have instructed a Quorn conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that standard with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have stringent stipulations regulating monies sitting on client account.
