Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Darwen

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Darwen? What am I being asked for?

You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Darwen. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing process if you have not submitting proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of ID it needs to be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.

Evidence of the source of money is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must have this information on file. Your Darwen conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries regarding the source of monies.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Darwen?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

What will a local search inform me regarding the property I am buying in Darwen?
