I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented property in Trowbridge by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your solicitor and urge them to they cajole the owners side, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will look to achieve

Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Trowbridge you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts 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 Trowbridge)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Trowbridge. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking National Westminster Bank to clarify?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Trowbridge and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
