This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Drybrook. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Drybrook?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Drybrook building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Drybrook conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Drybrook solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Drybrook surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Drybrook. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Drybrook - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the leaseholders have control and even though a managing agent is often employed if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. This information is important as a) areas can result in problems for the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the tenants have an issue with the running of the building you will need to have complete disclosure Where a Drybrook lease has no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the property for two years in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension.
