I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out apartment in Marazion by 12/6/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your letting until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your solicitor and request that they seek the assistance the sellers solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will work to achieve
At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Marazion and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Marazion you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marazion)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Marazion?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender to explore if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Marazion.
My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Marazion. Should I use them?

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently found out that it's a leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Marazion. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

It is clear that you are buying in Marazion in which case you should be shopping around for a Marazion conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions such as requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should advise you fully on all the issues.

My hope is to acquire a garden apartment in Marazion. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance paperwork. This afternoon I was informed that the vendor needs to forward the insurance paperwork for the flat above also. Why would my conveyancer need to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the last month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Marazion to discover Conveyancing in Marazion in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the complete premises - which is clearly better. Do check with your lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is seeking to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
