This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Bramhall. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bramhall?

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Bramhall solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Bramhall surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

What are the legal fees for lease extension conveyancing?
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Bramhall, conveyancing was carried out November 2000. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Bramhall with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093
With just 68 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
There are plenty of properties in Bramhall on unadopted lanes. My husband and I are buying such a house. What are the pros and cons of buying a house on a privately owned road?
Bramhall conveyancing firms will be used to conveyancing propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancer will review the Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than council maintained.
