We are due to move property in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Northampton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only take place when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Northampton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Northampton.
