A mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my single bedroom apartment is due within the next few days. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Rochford?

You have come to the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Rochford. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest.

I am due to complete buying a property in Rochford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement yet Lloyds will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?

Your property lawyer being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Lloyds of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to disclose the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Rochford.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rochford? What am I being asked for?

Rochford conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to provide two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).

Confirmation of source of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as conveyancers are required to investigate that the funds you are utilising to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price where you are buying without a mortgage) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Rochford is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Rochford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rochford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rochford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Rochford and how can you help?
