What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brighouse? Why is this being asked of me?
Brighouse conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of source of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are required to check that the funds you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate activity.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Brighouse took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Brighouse is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Brighouse are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brighouse you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brighouse 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.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Brighouse
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Brighouse conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
