I was advised recently by my lender that my Burwash the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Burwash conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Burwash? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Burwash conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to check not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation 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 been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Burwash house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Burwash.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Burwash before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks may not give a loan on a flying freehold property.
