In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Clarborough? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.

My husband and I may need to let out our Clarborough basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Clarborough conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Clarborough conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

Developers frequently have panels of lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Clarborough property lawyer.
