Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a garden flat in Godshill. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Godshill?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Godshill. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property.

I am expecting a AIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Godshill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.

As far as conveyancing in Godshill is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
