Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Duffield. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Duffield?

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being problematic. The Duffield solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Duffield I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Duffield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
