I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in St Clears?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and check if they allow a cash alternative.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in St Clears. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in St Clears?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in St Clears
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted St Clears conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by HQ.
