I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented flat in Tavistock by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, contact to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
Finally the sale completed on my house in Tavistock last April yet the purchaser is calling me complaining that his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where appropriate, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Tavistock.

I am purchasing a new build house in Tavistock with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Tavistock. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual because all ground rent and service invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
