The Chadwell Heath conveyancing firm handling our Chadwell Heath conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance right?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chadwell Heath? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Chadwell Heath conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to check not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
