Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Heckmondwike. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Heckmondwike?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Heckmondwike. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Heckmondwike lawyers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Heckmondwike. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Edwardian property in Heckmondwike. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Heckmondwike and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Heckmondwike ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
