Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Brewood is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Brewood conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Brewood. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Brewood?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease.
