In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Harold Park? Is this really necessary?
Harold Park conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Confirmation of the origin of funds is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering laws as conveyancers are mandated to investigate that the money you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate activity.
We're in Harold Park, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
How does conveyancing in Harold Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Harold Park approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Harold Park usually buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Harold Park or who has acted in the same development.

I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Harold Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Harold Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
