In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Byfleet? Why is this being asked of me?
Byfleet conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of source of funds is also required in compliance with the money laundering laws as solicitors are mandated to ensure that the monies you are using to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) rather than the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Byfleet is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Byfleet are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Byfleet you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Byfleet may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I was recommended by two or three local estate agents in Byfleet to locate a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above another?
We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
