What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Henllan? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you refuse to hand over identification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
How does conveyancing in Henllan differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Henllan approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Henllan typically buy 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 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 Henllan or who has acted in the same development.
I today plan to offer on a house that appears to be perfect, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold.

Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Henllan ?
The majority of houses in Henllan are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Henllan so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Henllan conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor should report to you on the legal implications.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I'm selling a property in Henllan. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
