I am aiming to move home in month. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Turnham Green. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across yoursite.

On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only occur after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Turnham Green or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Turnham Green

Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Turnham Green.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Turnham Green. Some people will purchase a house in Turnham Green, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Turnham Green. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an environmental report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
