In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ryhope? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I own a terraced Edwardian house in Ryhope. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Ryhope and other areas of 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 purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Ryhope
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Ryhope conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I have recently realised that I have Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Ryhope. I am keen to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Ryhope.
