This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Eastney and Southsea. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Eastney and Southsea?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen early afternoon.

I am the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Eastney and Southsea. The Eastney and Southsea property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.
