Following your house sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Levenshulme. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Levenshulme?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Levenshulme. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Levenshulme bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Levenshulme conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
About to purchase house in Levenshulme. 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 Skipton 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 Levenshulme property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
