What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Eastwood? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.
I am buying my first flat in Eastwood with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Eastwood is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Eastwood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Eastwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Eastwood may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
