It has come to my attention via my broker that my Dunnington the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. How can I check?
You need to contact your Dunnington lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a ground floor flat in Dunnington. We encountered a snag. Our loan offer with The Mortgage Works runs out on 19/9/2025 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 23/9/2025. Can one prolong the loan offer?
The best person to address this concern is your lawyer who should assess if they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, property agents or possibly all three taking into account the history of your transaction as of today.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Dunnington? Is this really warranted?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Dunnington. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal in the absence supplying proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Proof of the origin of monies is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer will need to retain this information on file. Your Dunnington conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions regarding the origin of funds.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Dunnington for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dunnington conveyancing specialists.
