Is the fact that my solicitor in Andover is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Andover conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Andover. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Andover?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Andover. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Andover. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this clause primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
About to purchase house in Andover. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Andover property lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
