What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Aldersgate? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Aldersgate conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to check not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
I am helping my niece sell her flat in Aldersgate. Will the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a mandatory part of moving house. An EPC should be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not something that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are using a Aldersgate conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Aldersgate energy assessors
Intending to buy a maisonette in Aldersgate. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Aldersgate lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
Our offer on a detached house in Aldersgate has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Aldersgate. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Aldersgate conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with searches.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Aldersgate.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Aldersgate. There are those who acquire a house in Aldersgate, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Aldersgate. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
