This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Countesthorpe. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Countesthorpe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I'm buying a new build house in Countesthorpe benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will affect my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.
