What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your lawyer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
