What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Mirfield? Why is this being asked of me?
Mirfield conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of source of monies is also necessary under the money laundering laws as lawyers are mandated to investigate that the funds you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase amount if you are buying mortgage free) has come from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) and is not the proceeds of criminal activity.
We are aiming to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Mirfield. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent however this can only take place when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Mirfield or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Mirfield.
Can I be sure that the Mirfield conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Mirfield obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Mirfield solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am selling our property in Mirfield and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Mirfield lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Mirfield. We have lived in Mirfield for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
