Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Flitwick

I am buying a newly constructed apartment in Flitwick and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the seller. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Flitwick? Why is this being asked of me?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Flitwick conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to check not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your lawyer terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
