Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Saltash. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Saltash?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Saltash. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
