This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Noak Hill. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Noak Hill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Noak Hill building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Noak Hill conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Noak Hill. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
