This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Ilkeston. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Ilkeston?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are due to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Ilkeston. Conveyancing firm 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 however this should only occur after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Ilkeston or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Ilkeston.
I am being advised by my conveyancer that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Ilkeston conveyancing?

How does conveyancing in Ilkeston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ilkeston approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Ilkeston typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Ilkeston or who has acted in the same development.
