What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Carisbrooke? What am I being asked for?

Carisbrooke conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID 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 (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).

Proof of source of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering statutes as solicitors are obliged to investigate that the funds you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount where you are buying mortgage free) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) rather than the fruits of criminal behaviour.

The Carisbrooke conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Carisbrooke have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my family Carisbrooke lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.

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.
