Am I overthinking my resignation?

Hi all, I’ll keep it as short and simple as possible.

Been in my current job for the past year (October 22, 2020) as a forklift driver, I’ve found a new job which I’ve accepted, I’m due to be contacted by the new company on November 18th once they’ve heard what happens with regards to being funded for training.
Either way, I’m in regardless.

my current employer was very late and lazy regarding my contract, as in I didn’t receive it until a couple of weeks ago, so it hasn’t been signed and returned so surely it isn’t legally binding? I also had not had pension contributions taken out of my wages for the past 10 months give or take, these payments are now being taken (far too late)

I am wondering whether I am required to give the required notice (4 weeks) or not, I’m not clued up on the legal side of things, I am paid monthly also.

I don’t intend to go about this the wrong way and screw anybody over, could anybody who is a little more clued up on employment law shed some light on my situation please?
 
I'd be more concerned about the pension contributions, if they haven't been deducting these from your pay are you sure they have been paying employer contributions into your pension? I believe a minimum of 3% employer contribution is mandatory on top of whatever you were supposed to be contributing.
Look into this to make sure you aren't being screwed over.

I would need to check my wage slips but as far as I’m aware I haven’t been getting them for the first 9 months ish, I hadn’t been given an option to opt out either, I was happy for these payments to be made. I can’t imagine they have been paid tbh
