This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Clowne. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Clowne?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I am purchasing my first flat in Clowne with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.
