This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Otley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Otley?

Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Otley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Otley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, are being pedantic. The Otley solicitor who is on the conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
