I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out apartment in West Cross by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim to achieve
My wife and I are buying a flat in West Cross. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to put money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. West Cross conveyancing solicitors are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

How does conveyancing in West Cross differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in West Cross come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in West Cross tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in West Cross or who has acted in the same development.
