In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bursledon? Why is this being asked of me?

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to ascertain not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your lawyer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Bursledon. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
