This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Morden Park. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Morden Park?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am expecting a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Morden Park solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Morden Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Morden Park. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
You must advise Coventry BS before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I'm buying a new build house in Morden Park with a mortgage from TSB. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with TSB. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Much as we are happy to recommend a Morden Park conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or family who have used the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
We today found out that one of the directors of the firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Morden Park is an uncle of the seller. Is this permitted?
On the basis that no conflict arises this is allowable. If you are requiring a mortgage then the bank may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific instructions on this. For example for Leeds Building Society as of 13/5/2026, the requirements read as follows :
• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family);
• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and
• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
