What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Beeston? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Beeston. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing deal without first supplying evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a utility bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.
Evidence of your source of money is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must retain this information on file. Your Beeston conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries regarding the source of monies.
I own a terraced Edwardian property in Beeston. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Beeston and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Beeston I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beeston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
