I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in West Beckton by 20/5/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your lease unless your lawyer suggests that you should.

My father pointed out to me me that in buying a property in West Beckton there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to the property. Is this right?

We are aiming to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in West Beckton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only take place once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in West Beckton or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in West Beckton.
I am expecting a OIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any West Beckton solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint West Beckton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.

My partner and I may need to let out our West Beckton ground floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a West Beckton conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last West Beckton conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you must seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
