The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Retford? Is this really necessary?
Retford conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Confirmation of the origin of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are obliged to ensure that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price if you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.
five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Retford took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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 own a leasehold flat in Retford. Conveyancing was finalised in 21012. I have read on numerous consumer forums that I mustn’t let the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Retford leasehold properties are for a fixed term - usually ninety nine years when they are first granted. However many flats in Retford were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole need leases to have a minimum of 75 years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are nearing 75 years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
