Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Hurworth. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Hurworth?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Hurworth. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Hurworth on 29/4/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Are Nottingham entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been informed by numerous friends to expect 6-8 weeks for Hurworth conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The paperwork was only sent to my conveyancing practitioner last week so now does it countdown?
You need to be pragmatic about timelines. Moving home in Hurworth usually takes about two months. This time period is not because conveyancer are slow and purposely delay matters. The level of money involved in purchasing any residence is so high, the buyer’s property lawyer needing to carry out a wide range of enquiries, searches and supplemental checks to protect the buyer and their mortgage company (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Hurworth involves getting information from a range of third parties, for example other solicitor, local councils, private companies, mortgage companies. Many of these are efficient. Plenty aren't. Finally, no matter how quickly your property lawyer do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
