I am due to move house in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Lampton. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your site.

Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society for my property in Lampton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Lampton conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Lampton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Am I right to be wary by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Lampton conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold.

Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement.
