Me and my partner are buying a property in Milton Keynes Village. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Milton Keynes Village. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Milton Keynes Village?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Milton Keynes Village. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve checks to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Milton Keynes Village I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Milton Keynes Village for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
