Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Waterlooville. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Waterlooville?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold flat in Waterlooville. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Waterlooville do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
