What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bromyard? Is this really warranted?
Bromyard conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Evidence of the origin of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as lawyers are required to check that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies where you are buying mortgage free) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the fruits of criminal behaviour.

How does conveyancing in Bromyard differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bromyard approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Bromyard usually acquire the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bromyard or who has acted in the same development.
