My best friend’s brother is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I can be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Thurston?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Thurston. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thurston?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Thurston. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Thurston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Thurston is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Thurston ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
