I am due to move house in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Martock. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only be done after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over.

I'm buying a new build house in Martock with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
