This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Stepney. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Stepney?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Stepney or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Stepney.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Stepney. The Stepney property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires 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 could be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation chiefly exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.

I am buying a new build house in Stepney with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with HSBC Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've found a house that seems to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Stepney. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Stepney in which case you should be looking for a Stepney conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your solicitor will report to you on the legal implications.
