This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Swavesey. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Swavesey?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Swavesey.

I purchased my flat on 13 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Swavesey advises it would be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Swavesey particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Swavesey registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays.

How does conveyancing in Swavesey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Swavesey approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Swavesey typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Swavesey or who has acted in the same development.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Swavesey 1st floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Swavesey conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Swavesey conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I invested in buying a studio flat in Swavesey, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2002. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Swavesey with an extended lease are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2078
With 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
