I am aiming to move home in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Elm Park. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent but this should only happen when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Elm Park or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Elm Park.
