I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented apartment in Woore by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they chase the sellers lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will work to achieve

I am due to move house in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Woore. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this can only take place after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Woore or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Woore.
I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Woore. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Woore solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I was recommended by a couple of local selling agents in Woore to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over another?
We refuse to offer any commission for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
