I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Rye by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

How does conveyancing in Rye differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rye come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Rye typically buy the site, 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 Rye or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rye is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Rye are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rye you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rye may decide 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 premises.
Should I choose a Rye conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the legal work but they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Rye conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Rye conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
