We are due to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Pontefract. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only be done once the vendors lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Pontefract or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Pontefract.
My husband and I are spending time looking at flats in Pontefract and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have my conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Principality.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Pontefract on 25/7/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
