This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in South Croydon. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in South Croydon?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in South Croydon. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in South Croydon. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates 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 impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
We expect to receive a DIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any South Croydon solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint South Croydon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.
Will our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in South Croydon.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in South Croydon. Some people will acquire a house in South Croydon, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in South Croydon. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in South Croydon on May bank holiday?
Because on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's lawyer and currently this can only happen on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
