I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Runcorn by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
