What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Holbrook? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Holbrook. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing deal in the absence submitting proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Evidence of the source of money is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on file. Your Holbrook conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they may also ask further questions concerning the source of funds.

I am the only beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Holbrook. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of property.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Holbrook has been accepted, what happens next?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Lloyds or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Holbrook.
Our sealed bid on a property in Holbrook has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Holbrook. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Holbrook conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Holbrook.
