In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kempshott? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kempshott is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Kempshott are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kempshott you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kempshott may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
