I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out flat in Barmouth by 8/7/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice for your lease until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to a target completion date that everyone will look to achieve

I am expecting a AIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Barmouth solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Barmouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Leeds Building Society are being a right pain. The Barmouth solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.
How does conveyancing in Barmouth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Barmouth come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Barmouth tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Barmouth or who has acted in the same development.
