I am due to move house in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Rocester. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the selling agent but this should only take place once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over.
