This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Willesden. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Willesden?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Willesden.

Nottingham have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Willesden has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Nottingham or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant paperwork. Nottingham will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Willesden.
I am buying my first flat in Willesden with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Am I right to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Willesden conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from family and friends can be most helpful. Yet there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward solicitors to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I am attracted to a couple of flats in Willesden which have in the region of fifty years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
