This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Wetherby. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Wetherby?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wetherby solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Wetherby postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Wetherby.
