We are aiming to move house in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Accrington. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only be done once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Accrington or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Accrington.

Your estate agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Yorkshire BS or the broker and complete any outstanding documentation. Yorkshire BS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Accrington is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Accrington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Accrington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Accrington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Accrington

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Accrington conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

We have selected a Accrington conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with conveyancer?

We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. They should be governed by the SRA, who dictate strict conditions in place on monies held by them.
