Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Polesworth

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Polesworth? Is this really warranted?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Polesworth 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 showing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to check not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor ending 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 notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I am in the process of refinancing my apartment in Polesworth, does my lawyer have to be on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are a common cause of delay in Polesworth house deals. Is this right?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Polesworth.

I acquired my house on 9 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Polesworth advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are transfers in Polesworth uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Polesworth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Polesworth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Polesworth approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Polesworth tend to purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Polesworth or who has acted in the same development.
