In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Crook Log? What am I being asked for?
Crook Log conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of source of monies is also required under the money laundering statutes as conveyancers have a duty to ensure that the money you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies if you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal activity.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Crook Log. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Crook Log?

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Crook Log lawyer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Crook Log bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Crook Log conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
