This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Wythenshawe. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Wythenshawe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
