I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented apartment in Woolacombe by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and ask them to they apply pressure on the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim towards

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Woolacombe I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woolacombe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
