Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Dunmow. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Dunmow?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Dunmow. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property.

We are due to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Dunmow. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your page.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Dunmow or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Dunmow.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Dunmow. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
