This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Brent Cross. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Brent Cross?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Brent Cross. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Aldermore are being difficult. The Brent Cross solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am purchasing a new build house in Brent Cross benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Santander. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I was advised by numerous estate agents in Brent Cross to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
