What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Shawbury? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Shawbury conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Shawbury?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I purchased my apartment on 13 June and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Shawbury said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are properties in Shawbury uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Shawbury is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
