What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Loxford? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Loxford conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer ending their relationship 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 inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
I'm buying a new build house in Loxford with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Loxford is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Loxford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Loxford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Loxford 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.

My husband and I are four weeks into a residential purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Loxford. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
A conveyancer would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the replacement solicitor and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating fees and frustration. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Loxford conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Loxford conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Loxford conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:
-
