Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in york. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in york?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in york.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
About to purchase maisonette in york.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in york is approved on their conveyancing panel?

I'm purchasing my first flat in york with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold flat in york. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
The lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in york do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
