I am assisting my mother sell her property in Trentham. Will the solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was kept a required element of moving house. An EPC must be to hand before the property is placed on the market.

I am planning to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Trentham. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent however this should only happen after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Trentham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Trentham.
