This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Rawdon and Yeadon. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rawdon and Yeadon?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Rawdon and Yeadon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Santander, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Rawdon and Yeadon I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rawdon and Yeadon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
