I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out apartment in Carmarthen by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and ask them to they chase the owners side, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will aim towards
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Carmarthen and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Carmarthen you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. 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 is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Carmarthen)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Carmarthen so that I can attend their offices if required.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Carmarthen I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Carmarthen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
