My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Toddington. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is e-mail your solicitor and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please call Nationwide Building Society who may be able to help.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Toddington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can I be sure that the Toddington conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Toddington getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from TSB as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Toddington. Do we need to select a nearby Toddington solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB panel.

There are a lot of houses in Toddington on private roads. I am purchasing one such house. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a property on a privately owned road?
Toddington conveyancing solicitors are well versed in dealing propertieson private. The property lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly owned.
