What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Burnopfield? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Burnopfield conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to investigate not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
The Burnopfield conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Burnopfield have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel and my previous Burnopfield lawyer was not. I paid them £170 on account. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Burnopfield I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burnopfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
