This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Basinghall. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Basinghall?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Basinghall. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225.

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore 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.
