Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Epworth. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Epworth?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
is it true that all Epworth conveyancing solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Epworth is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of obstruction in Epworth house deals. Is there any truth in this?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Epworth I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Epworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I'm selling a bungalow in Epworth. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
