We are planning to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Fakenham. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent however this should only take place once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Fakenham or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Fakenham.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Fakenham. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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.
About to purchase apartment in Fakenham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fakenham conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Fakenham benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Fakenham and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Fakenham. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Fakenham area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Fakenham
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Fakenham conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
