I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in West Beckton by . Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

I am considering applying for a mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in West Beckton with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in West Beckton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Planning on purchasing a flat in West Beckton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the West Beckton is on the conveyancing panel.
