I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my rented apartment in Small Heath by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

We are aiming to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Small Heath. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this should only take place after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Small Heath or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Small Heath.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Small Heath. Do we need to appoint a local Small Heath solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Small Heath. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Skipton 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 Skipton 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.
