We are planning to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Chalk Farm. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this can only occur after the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Chalk Farm or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Chalk Farm.

I am expecting a AIP from Virgin Money this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

I'm buying a apartment in Chalk Farm. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
