I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Tynemouth by 7/9/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and ask them to they chase the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work towards
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Tynemouth for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company HSBC Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have reduced the amount of firms they allow to represent them. Be aware that HSBC Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of HSBC Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Tynemouth only carry out a couple conveyances per annum.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
