After much investigation and a few tips here I've found 3 items that could be causing my site problems:

1) My IP has no reverse DNS entry (thanks Kufu) so I'm working with the managed host to solve this

2) For some reason I am unable to send mail from domains still hosted on the old US server to the new UK hosted domain. This suggests that in some way the old server still thinks it controls the transfered domain. Now I don't fully understand this but I feel there may still be some reference to the domain that I need to remove. I removed the domain using cpanel/WHM so any advice would be great here

3) Although I removed all the files from the old US server I did not delete the .htacces file because it was one of those hidden files. This file had some 301 redirects in it, like redirecting non www to www etc. When I went to the old IP it redirected to the new hosted domain becuase of this file. I can't think how Google would have treated this but I feel it is another potential problem causer.

I've fixed point 3 and I'm working on 1 & 2.
