In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kibworth Beauchamp? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Kibworth Beauchamp conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

How does conveyancing in Kibworth Beauchamp differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kibworth Beauchamp approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kibworth Beauchamp tend to acquire 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 Kibworth Beauchamp or who has acted in the same development.

I own a leasehold flat in Kibworth Beauchamp. Conveyancing was finalised in 21012. I have heard that I mustn’t let the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Kibworth Beauchamp residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - often ninety nine years when they started. However many appartments in Kibworth Beauchamp were built or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. That may seem like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have at least seventy five years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
