What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.

I am aiming to move house in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only occur after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Newton Aycliffe or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe.
I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel firm.
My colleague advised me that if I am buying in Newton Aycliffe I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Newton Aycliffe Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Newton Aycliffe.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm buying a new build house in Newton Aycliffe with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
