This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Keighley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Keighley?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Keighley. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We expect to receive a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Keighley solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Keighley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Keighley. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

How does conveyancing in Keighley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Keighley contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Keighley tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Keighley or who has acted in the same development.
