I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my let out apartment in Saltdean by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and request that they chase the sellers solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will work to achieve

There is lots of here regarding conveyancing in Saltdean but can you isolate your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Saltdean
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Saltdean conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Saltdean. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Saltdean is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My partner and I may need to let out our Saltdean basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Saltdean conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Saltdean conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
