I went with a Harmondsworth based firm for our conveyancing in Harmondsworth today. Upon checking the small print it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing company who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Harmondsworth?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the cases that abort. You should be mindful that these deals rarely protect you from disbursements by way of example Harmondsworth conveyancing search costs.
I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Harmondsworth by 17/8/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, speak to your conveyancer and request that they apply pressure on the sellers side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will work to achieve

Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
