I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out property in Rednal by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they chase the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve

Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Rednal.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I've recently bought a leasehold house in Rednal. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before 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. However, 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 be sure 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).
