Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Lickey End. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Lickey End?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Lickey End. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being problematic. The Lickey End solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Lickey End I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lickey End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
