This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Rainham. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Rainham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am expecting a OIP from Coventry BS 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). Do Coventry BS recommend any Rainham solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Rainham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

Last October I purchased a leasehold property in Rainham. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
