This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Dunnington. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Dunnington?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Dunnington off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Lloyds. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Dunnington. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.
Have completed on a a detached house in Dunnington , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Dunnington conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Dunnington is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Dunnington is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
