We are planning to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Millom. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this can only be done once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Millom or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Millom.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Millom. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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.
