Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here.

Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bilston and Bradley conveyancing searches.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Bilston and Bradley. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bilston and Bradley?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Bilston and Bradley. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am expecting a OIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Bilston and Bradley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
