AssumingI was to purchase a simple residential propertyin Greater Manchester for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Greater Manchester?
The only saving you would achieve is the costs for searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the vendors conveyancer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it will not be significant.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Greater Manchester? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
