Can you vouch for a Lloyds TSB Bank accepted Caerwys conveyancing lawyer that can complete within 28 days? Am I best advised to unstruct a local Caerwys conveyancer or a national conveyancer?

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Caerwys? What am I being asked for?
Caerwys conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Proof of the origin of funds is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as lawyers have a duty to ensure that the funds you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the product of criminal activity.
Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to to identify firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Caerwys?

I am buying a new build house in Caerwys benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Caerwys is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Caerwys are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Caerwys you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Caerwys 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.
