In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Coedpoeth? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.

How does conveyancing in Coedpoeth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Coedpoeth come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Coedpoeth tend to acquire 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 Coedpoeth or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Coedpoeth I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Coedpoeth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Should I appoint a Coedpoeth conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can handle the conveyancing however they are based 300kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Coedpoeth conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Coedpoeth conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Coedpoeth. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Coedpoeth who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Coedpoeth conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
