Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Blakedown. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Blakedown?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Blakedown. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Blakedown where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Blakedown conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
