This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a ground floor flat in Totnes. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Totnes?

Are all Totnes Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Totnes building society branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Totnes conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the is on the lender approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
