Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Mountain Ash is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Mountain Ash is inevitably higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the extra time required in communicating with the freeholder and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been cleared and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Mountain Ash. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Mountain Ash?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Mountain Ash. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale completed the survey? Have you informed Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Mountain Ash. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address.
