You are responsible for the property as soon as contracts have been exchanged so it is in your interests to get buildings insurance.
Your solicitor will lodge an interest in the property which will mean that the deeds to the property are frozen for 30 working days to allow you to pay the seller and lodge your application to the Land Registry to transfer the deeds into your name.
The seller will move out (although they may leave this to the day of completion).
You should organise removals.
The solicitor will send you a statement showing the final figure to pay, which will need to be cleared into your solicitors bank account at least one day before completion.
