Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Gatley. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Gatley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
