What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Aylestone? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer will not be able to take you on as a client.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the UBS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the CLC.
We were going to get a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Aylestone solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Aylestone solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
Our offer on a property in Aylestone has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Aylestone. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Aldermore started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Aylestone conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Aylestone.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Aylestone 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.
How does conveyancing in Aylestone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Aylestone approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Aylestone tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Aylestone or who has acted in the same development.
