This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Colne. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Colne?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Colne. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Colne and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Colne prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on such a premises.
