It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Essex solicitor is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure if this is correct?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Essex. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Essex?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Essex. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Essex solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Essex
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Essex conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Essex 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Essex conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Essex conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
I purchased a studio flat in Essex, conveyancing having been completed February 2005. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Essex with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2098
With 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
