I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Cheltenham by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

We are planning to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Cheltenham. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent but this can only happen once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Cheltenham or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Cheltenham.

Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Cheltenham. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cheltenham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Cheltenham is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Cheltenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cheltenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cheltenham may determine 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.
