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

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Peacehaven I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Peacehaven in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Peacehaven to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Peacehaven. I've chance upon a site which seems to have the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

The estate agent has recommended their conveyancer for the conveyancing in Peacehaven - won’t it be advisable to just use them?

You need to establish if the selling agent is recommending a conveyancing practitioner or introducing to a conveyancing practitioner. There are plenty of Peacehaven estate agents who recommend two or three Peacehaven conveyancing firms purely based on those lawyers offering a great service.
