Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Knighton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Knighton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
