In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Frogmore? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Frogmore conveyancing firm will require proof of 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.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your conveyancer ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Both are required to carry out Frogmore conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally administered and that the requisite steps will be correctly followed.
The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Frogmore. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
About to purchase house in Frogmore. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Frogmore lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
My friend suggested that if I am buying in Frogmore I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Frogmore 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to establish that you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Frogmore I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Frogmore suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
