Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Chadderton. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Chadderton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in.
