Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Newton Longville. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Newton Longville?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Newton Longville. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

One month into purchasing a residence in Newton Longville. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Should this make a difference on our home loan valuation?
Newton Longville conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The crucial factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to affect the value too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a adverse impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
