Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you now have to instruct a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the purchase.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Framlingham. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Framlingham?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Framlingham.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Framlingham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation chiefly exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Framlingham?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Framlingham with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
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 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.
