Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Newark on Trent. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Newark on Trent?

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Newark on Trent conveyancer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Newark on Trent, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Newark on Trent with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093
With 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
