This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Heath. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Heath?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

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