It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Clayton-le-Moors. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Clayton-le-Moors based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank and see if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Clayton-le-Moors.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Clayton-le-Moors. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Clayton-le-Moors?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Clayton-le-Moors. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
