I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Tynemouth by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your tenancy unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards

The Tynemouth conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Tynemouth have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a firm on the Santander conveyancing panel and my preferred Tynemouth lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

I got the keys to my home on 2 May and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Tynemouth advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Tynemouth particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Tynemouth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
