On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this should only take place once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Dudley or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Dudley.

How does conveyancing in Dudley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dudley approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Dudley usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Dudley or who has acted in the same development.
