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

You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Snaith. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing transaction in the absence supplying evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.

Evidence of your source of funds is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your lawyer will need to retain this information on file. Your Snaith conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further questions concerning the origin of monies.

We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being problematic. The Snaith solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

We are purchasing a property and the lawyer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the property could be liable as it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly necessary for conveyancing in Snaith

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £250,000 garden flat in Snaith next Thursday. The landlords agents has quoted £408 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Snaith?

Snaith conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries most will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Snaith, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Snaith with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2083

With just 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £26,600 and £30,800 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
