I am due to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Levenshulme. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this page.

After that you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Levenshulme or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Levenshulme.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Santander as we want to conduct alterations to our house in Levenshulme. Do we need to choose a high street Levenshulme solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Santander do not ordinarily appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander conveyancing panel.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Levenshulme. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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.

How does conveyancing in Levenshulme differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Levenshulme contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Levenshulme typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Levenshulme or who has acted in the same development.
