This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a garden flat in Clayhall. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Clayhall?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Clayhall. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My wife and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Clayhall and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with HSBC.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Clayhall I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Clayhall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
