We're in Winterton, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Winterton 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.

How does one remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a house in Winterton?
Where a Winterton property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal you would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the contract, typically this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making things smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
