Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Pencoed. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Pencoed?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am aiming to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Pencoed. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only take place when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Pencoed or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Pencoed.
is it true that all Pencoed solicitor practices on the UBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the UBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
