I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Halifax. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Stourbridge. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Stourbridge. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Stourbridge?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Bank of Ireland, do Stourbridge lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Can you point me to a directory of Leeds Building Society panel solicitors in Stourbridge on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available on the web. Where you are looking for a Stourbridge property lawyer on the Leeds Building Society please use our facility.
