I am buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford who is on the Leeds Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Kingswinford. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Kingswinford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Kingswinford conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kingswinford. I have a mortgage agreed with Skipton. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Kingswinford 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I have recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Kingswinford and the mortgage adviser that we are using suggested his conveyancer. He quoted £1000 including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?
Don't just go on 1 estimate. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Kingswinford. Then choose one that you trust and just as important, is on the approved panel of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
