We are planning to move property in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Keelby. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only be done once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can tell the removal men 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 Keelby or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Keelby.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Keelby. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Keelby. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Barclays?
You must advise Barclays prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor.

Do I need to be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Keelby conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to instruct. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
Should I use a Keelby conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing but they are based approximately 350kilometers away.

They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Keelby conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
