I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Heaton and Jesmond by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, notify to your solicitor and ask them to they apply pressure on the other side, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will look to achieve
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Heaton and Jesmond? What am I being asked for?
Heaton and Jesmond conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Evidence of the origin of monies is also necessary under the money laundering laws as solicitors are obliged to investigate that the funds you are utilising to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal activity.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Heaton and Jesmond. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with RBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Heaton and Jesmond.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Heaton and Jesmond. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Heaton and Jesmond property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
