What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in North Walsham? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any North Walsham conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your lawyer cancelling their relationship 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 notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
My Solicitor in North Walsham is not listed on the TSB Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the TSB list of approved lawyers?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred North Walsham lawyers but TSB will need to instruct a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges and cause delays.
- Find an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are TSB approved.
- Persuade your TSB based solicitor to attempt to join the TSB panel
My solicitor has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for North Walsham conveyancing?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We previously instructed solicitors located in North Walsham on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your North Walsham solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Intending to buy a apartment in North Walsham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the North Walsham conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
