What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bucklesham? Why is this being asked of me?
Bucklesham conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of source of funds is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering laws as lawyers have a duty to investigate that the funds you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase amount if you are buying mortgage free) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.

A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Nationwide or the broker and finish off any outstanding paperwork.

My wife and I have a renovated Edwardian house in Bucklesham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review 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 Bucklesham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Bucklesham to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
