What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Boreham? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.

When it comes to conveyancing in Boreham obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Boreham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Should I choose a Boreham conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but they are based 300miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Boreham conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Boreham conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
I'm remortgaging a property in Boreham. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
