Can you recommend a Accord Mortgages Ltd approved Tokyngton conveyancing firm finish our house move within 28 days? Am I best advised to go for a local Tokyngton practice or a national firm?
We can recommend some very good Tokyngton conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Tokyngton. Visit two or three firms and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a fee estimate. Discuss your deadline together with the reasons and ask for an assurance on your deadline. Select the one that you trust.
Are the Tokyngton conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Tokyngton conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.
We previously chose conveyancers located in Tokyngton on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Tokyngton conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Tokyngton. I have a mortgage agreed with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Tokyngton lawyer having made sure that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Tokyngton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Co-operative, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Tokyngton.

I'm buying a bungalow in Tokyngton. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
