We instructed a Leominster based solicitor for my conveyancing in Leominster today. Upon checking the fine print I noteI am liable for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Leominster. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Leominster?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Leominster. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
