What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chadwell St Mary? Is this really warranted?
Chadwell St Mary conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers accross the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of the origin of monies is also required in accordance with the money laundering regulations as conveyancers are duty bound to ensure that the money you are using to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of illegitimate activity.

- Find an alternative lawyer to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are Barclays approved.
- Persuade your Barclays solicitor to attempt to join the Barclays panel

How does conveyancing in Chadwell St Mary differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Chadwell St Mary come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Chadwell St Mary tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Chadwell St Mary or who has acted in the same development.

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.
