In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Penn? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Penn conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to investigate 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 will lead to your lawyer ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Penn completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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 am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Penn both have in the region of forty five years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

Where a Penn lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for two years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. How much is the ground rent and service charge?
I dont have enough spare cash to pay a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Penn , but I am anxious proceed. Do I have options?
You can accept a smaller deposit. Many sellers will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
