What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kendal? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Kendal conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Kendal. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Britannia conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
The first thing you should do is call your lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call Britannia who may be able to confirm.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Kendal is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Kendal are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kendal you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kendal may ascertain 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.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Kendal conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Kendal conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Kendal conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be helpful:

The answer will be important as a) areas could result in problems for the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to know about it It would be prudent to investigate if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. By way of example it is fairly common in Kendal leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Kendal. If you love the propertyin Kendal yet your dog is not allowed to move with you then you will be faced hard choice. Most Kendal leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for the upkeep of the block set by the landlord. Should you buy the property you will have to meet this liability, usually periodically during the year. This can vary from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common grounds. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be prohibitively expensive.
