Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Acrefair. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Acrefair?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Acrefair bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Acrefair conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Acrefair. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I acquired a house in Acrefair last 7/8/2023 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have spoken with HM Land Registry directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
Call your solicitor - if you are not getting sensible responses, find out about their internal complaints procedure and amplify your concerns to a Partner. Registrations for Acrefair conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
