I am planning to move home in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Stocksbridge. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this page.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over.

As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Stocksbridge or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Stocksbridge.

We had appointed conveyancers based in Stocksbridge on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Stocksbridge lawyer. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being a right pain. The Stocksbridge solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
