What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Middlesbrough? What am I being asked for?
Middlesbrough conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout 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.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Proof of the origin of monies is also required under the money laundering regulations as conveyancers are required to ensure that the funds you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase price where you are buying without a mortgage) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate activity.

Can you point me to a directory of Leeds Building Society panel solicitors in Middlesbrough on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

My partner and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Middlesbrough and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with TSB.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Middlesbrough house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Middlesbrough.
The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Middlesbrough 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and order current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
