Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Fairford. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Fairford?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Fairford. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home.

We are due to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Fairford. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only be done after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released.

We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Fairford or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Fairford.

How does conveyancing in Fairford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fairford approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Fairford usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fairford or who has acted in the same development.
