In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Manselton? What am I being asked for?
Manselton conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners accross the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

I got the keys to my apartment on 5 January and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Manselton advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Manselton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Manselton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Manselton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Manselton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Manselton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Manselton may decide 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.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Manselton.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual given that all rents and service charges will be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
