I am purchasing a property for cash in Gants Hill. I have been residing for the previous 15 years in Gants Hill. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Gants Hill conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with apparent issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Gants Hill should provide you some helpful advice here.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Gants Hill? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Gants Hill conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
