I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my let out property in Cross Hands by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and ask them to they apply pressure on the other lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look to achieve
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Cross Hands and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cross Hands you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cross Hands)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am purchasing my first flat in Cross Hands with a loan from Britannia. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Cross Hands I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cross Hands for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
