What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Oakham? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Oakham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to ascertain not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money 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 appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Just bought a detached house in Oakham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Oakham conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Oakham registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Oakham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Oakham approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Oakham usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Oakham or who has acted in the same development.
