In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ringmer? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Ringmer conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to ascertain not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

We had chosen solicitors located in Ringmer on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Ringmer solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Can I be sure that the Ringmer conveyancing solicitor on the Nationwide panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ringmer getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Ringmer accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ringmer. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Ringmer conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Ringmer.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Ringmer. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ringmer and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm refinancing my current property to a BTL loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a deposit on further house. The neighborhood we are interested in is Ringmer. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two lenders and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our search tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to tie up the two deals but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and communicate your expectations and needs.
My father-in-law has encouraged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Ringmer. Should I find my own property lawyer?
