We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Toton who is on the Nottingham solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Toton.
We are due to move home in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Toton. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Toton or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Toton.
is it true that all Toton solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the CLC.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Toton conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Lloyds to send the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Lloyds conducted the survey? Have you informed Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Toton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Toton from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Toton can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Toton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. If you dont have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance.
