In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cranham? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Cranham conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your solicitor cancelling their relationship 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 make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
I have been advised by my conveyancer that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Cranham?

I am purchasing a property in Cranham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Cranham.
Virgin Money have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Cranham has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Virgin Money or your broker and finalise any outstanding forms. Virgin Money will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Virgin Money will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Cranham.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Cranham I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cranham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
