We are planning to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Brampton. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only take place when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Brampton or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Brampton.

My lawyers in Brampton have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?

Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
