In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Aldeburgh? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Aldeburgh conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your lawyer terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
we are a couple who intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Aldeburgh with a homeloan from Birmingham Midshires.We would like to retain our Aldeburgh conveyancing practitioner but Birmingham Midshires says her practice is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Birmingham Midshires panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Birmingham Midshires approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires
How does conveyancing in Aldeburgh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Aldeburgh approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Aldeburgh tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Aldeburgh or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Aldeburgh is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Aldeburgh are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldeburgh may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
