Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Welshpool. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Welshpool?

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Welshpool. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am buying a new build house in Welshpool with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it could impact my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I purchased a flat in Welshpool last 7/8/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it may take over a year to complete the registration formalities. I have called HMLR directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
It is your solicitor that you should get in touch with in order to satisfy any questions which have been raised as part of the registration formalities for your Welshpool property. Normal Welshpool conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s solicitor that they will help resolve any requirements raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
