On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only happen once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Arnold or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Arnold.

My solicitor has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Arnold conveyancing?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
