I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented property in Ouston by 27/1/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the sellers side, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will work towards
I am buying a property and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the house could be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Ouston
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Ouston to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Ouston. Now, I need my documents but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

How does conveyancing in Ouston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Ouston approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Ouston tend to acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Ouston or who has acted in the same development.
