What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Canning Town? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.
I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Canning Town but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Canning Town
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Canning Town conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Canning Town conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being difficult. The Canning Town solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I bought a flat in Canning Town last 20/6/2025 and to date it is still not recorded with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my property lawyer told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
