What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in New Southgate? Why is this being asked of me?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any New Southgate conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. New Southgate is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in New Southgate are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in New Southgate you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in New Southgate 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 premises.

The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in New Southgate has forwarded papers to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not yet recorded at the Land Registry?

Although the vast majorities of properties in New Southgate are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in New Southgate that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a New Southgate property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many New Southgate conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle such matters but where uncertainty exists the usual recommendation presently seems to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this will have a knock on effect to result in a protracted home move.
