We are planning to move property in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Needham Market. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your site.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
