I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Melbourne by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your conveyancer and ask them to they apply pressure on the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look to achieve

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Melbourne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Melbourne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Melbourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Melbourne may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
