I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented apartment in Devon by 16/2/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the other side, try to a target completion date that everyone will look to achieve

How does conveyancing in Devon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Devon contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Devon usually acquire the land, 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 Devon or who has acted in the same development.
