What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Llanbrynmair? Why is this being asked of me?
Llanbrynmair conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of source of monies is also required in compliance with the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are obliged to investigate that the monies you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) rather than the product of illegitimate activity.

Subsequently you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Llanbrynmair or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Llanbrynmair.
Is it correct that all Llanbrynmair CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Llanbrynmair lawyer on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Llanbrynmair. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Llanbrynmair and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Llanbrynmair is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanbrynmair are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanbrynmair you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanbrynmair 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 residence.
