I have just been advised by my mortgage adviser that my Cranford lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to call your Cranford lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Cranford conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Cranford?

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Cranford. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Cranford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The Cranford solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
About to purchase apartment in Cranford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cranford property lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Cardiff but live in Cranford.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my flat in Cranford. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the landlord. On the whole a specialist may be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Cranford.
