Should I use a Conveyancer or Conveyancing Solicitor near me?
Solicitors are usually more expensive that a conveyancer, which is fine as long as they specialise in property transactions. It can be beneficial to choose a solicitor in case of any complex legal complications with your transaction, but the best of both is to instruct a conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.Read our full guide: Licensed Conveyancer or Solicitor - Who should you choose to do your conveyancing?

Lincolnshire is a county in the east of England and its county town in Lincoln, which is where the county council is situated. Land use here is predominantly agricultural. It is the second largest of the English ceremonial counties. It is notable for not having any major urban areas, although the coastal population can rapidly rise seasonally because of the coast's popularity with tourists visiting places such as Skegness and Mablethorpe. The ambience is predominantly rural, with, for example, shops in most areas remaining closed on Sundays.
The county is particularly popular with birdwatchers, who "flock" to the fenland areas in the southeast of the county and the nature reserves at Gibraltar Point, Saltfleetby and Theddlethorpe.
Villages are generally self-contained. The county borders Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. Additionally, it has a border with Northamptonshire in the south: the shortest county boundary at a tiny 20 yards/18 metres.
Lincoln has two universities, the University of Lincoln and Bishop Grosseteste University.

First time buyer renting? When should you hand in your notice?
Knowing exactly when to hand in your notice as a first time buyer renting is a challenge, given that conveyancing processes are very difficult to pin down to an exact timeframe. This is made more complicated by some landlords demanding a 2-month notice period.
The draw, naturally, is to avoid the double payment of both rent and mortgage. Your solicitor will invariably recommend that you wait until after exchange to give your notice as timeframes are then normally more predictable; unfortunately you might end up completing before your rental period has expired.
Above all, you need to think about the worst case scenario, i.e. that you end up homeless while waiting to complete. You'll then have to find alternative temporary accommodation such as staying at a family member's home or even renting a hotel or a bed & breakfast place while keeping your belongings in storage.
You serve your interests best by getting your solicitor to confirm a realistic date when exchange can take place and then to look to handing in your notice as close to this date as possible.
