I am planning to move property in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Dorchester. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only occur once the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Dorchester or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Dorchester.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Dorchester. Are we obliged to appoint a local Dorchester solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Dorchester on 16/11/2020, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when purchasing a property in Dorchester? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some homeowners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Dorchester?
Unless a previous acquisition of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Dorchester to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
