We're in Seascale, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Seascale
Two types of professional can do conveyancing in Seascale namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Seascale. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Seascale?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Seascale. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Seascale concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Seascale I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Seascale in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
