I am due to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Cinderford. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only be done after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Cinderford or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Cinderford.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Cinderford. The Cinderford property was put into my name in December.
