Completed the sale of my flat in Essington last February yet the purchaser is Skype messaging daily to say his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your conveyancer is committed to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Essington. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Essington?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Essington?
Conveyancing - in Essington or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to fix the problems prior to you complete your move.
