I was advised yesterday by my financial adviser that my Canton lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Canton lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Canton conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Canton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Canton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Canton. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Leeds Building Society be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Canton.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Canton
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Given that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Canton I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding thehome move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Canton should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
We have chosen a Canton conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not covered by the FCA. Need I be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set stringent obligations regulating funds sitting in their bank.
