We are planning to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ringmer. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent but this can only be done when the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Ringmer or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Ringmer.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Ringmer solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Ringmer conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Ringmer.

The primary upside of using a high street Ringmer conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
