I am due to move home in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Goddington. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent however this should only occur after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Goddington or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Goddington.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Goddington. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have instructed a Goddington solicitor having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC 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. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Goddington postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Goddington.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
