Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Dolgellau. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Dolgellau?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Dolgellau. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home.

I am purchasing a property in Dolgellau. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Dolgellau.
My offer was accepted on a property in Dolgellau on 18/3/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Barclays and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Are Barclays entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
