I am assisting my aunt sell her property in Acrefair. Does the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Acrefair. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Acrefair?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Virgin Money have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Acrefair has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will need to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Virgin Money or the broker and finish off any appropriate documentation. Virgin Money will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Acrefair.

I am buying a new build house in Acrefair benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it could affect my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My fiance and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartmentin Acrefair with a mortgage from a lender. We have a conveyancer in Acrefair however our mortgage company inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our bank panel firms or stay with our Acrefair conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Acrefair lawyer?
No, not really. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Acrefair : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
