Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Wolstanton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Wolstanton?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Wolstanton. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wolstanton solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
