My wife and I are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Gorleston but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the seller in the sum of six thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Nationwide are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your property lawyer being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Nationwide of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to notify the price change to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Gorleston.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Gorleston? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you refuse to hand over identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Gorleston for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies normally imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Chelsea Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Chelsea Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed views regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Gorleston only conduct a couple conveyances per annum.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Gorleston. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Gorleston - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Our conveyancing in Gorleston is completing next Friday, yet the person I am purchasing off has asked to vacate on the Saturday PM. Should I accept such a plan?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems aren't operational.
