I was informed yesterday by my IFA that my Radford lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Radford lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
Due to move into my new home in Radford next Friday. My conveyancing practitioner now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?

I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Radford. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory component of moving house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Radford conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with long established local assessors
I am planning to move home in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Radford. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent but this should only take place after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Radford or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Radford.
We were going to get a OIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Radford solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Radford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
