I am planning to move house in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Highnam. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent but this should only occur once the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Highnam or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Highnam.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Highnam. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Highnam lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Highnam differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Highnam contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Highnam usually purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Highnam or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Highnam to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above another?
We refuse to offer any commission for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
