I'm planning to use the same firm of solicitors to sell our place as buy the new one - that seem sensible to everyone?

Yes - assuming the solicitor is one you've chosen independently (ie not recommended by a new build company etc).

Yep, just keep an eye on communication as it can become a bit befuddling looking out for "sale of" / "purchase of" if you've never bought and sold at the same time before.

I think that's pretty standard. I wouldn't want to try and co-ordinate two solicitors for the same completion date.

@BleakRefs > how can anyone keep up with that?
I don't know and it's the age old debate. Looked at a house today that was up for 430k. Vendors bought it for 260k 7 years ago and literally haven't done anything to it. That can't happen again surely (though apparently people said that time).
