This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Poplar. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Poplar?

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Poplar conveyancing practitioners have been instructed. How long does it take for RBS to forward the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have RBS done the valuation? Have you informed RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Poplar. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for delay in Poplar house deals. Is there any truth in this?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Poplar is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Poplar are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Poplar you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poplar may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My aunt completed her conveyancing in Poplar in 2005. She has been married, divorced and is now remarried. She now wishes to the sell the Poplar property. I believe she will simply be asked to provide a copy of the marriage papers to the lawyer however she is worried it will frustrate the house move. Is it worth updating the land title information for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to bring up to date the register on the basis that you have the proof needed to show how the name change has come about.
The buyer’s solicitor will examine the land registry details and require evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage certificates.
