In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Gaydon? Is this really warranted?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Gaydon. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing deal if you have not handing over proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.
Verification of the source of money is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your lawyer must have this information on record. Your Gaydon conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries concerning the origin of monies.
I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Gaydon. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gaydon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Gaydon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Gaydon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Gaydon typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gaydon or who has acted in the same development.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Gaydon and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to apply to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Gaydon. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
