In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Sneyd Green? Is this really necessary?
Sneyd Green conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Evidence of the origin of funds is also required under the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are duty bound to check that the money you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase monies where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.
I am being advised by my solicitor that chancel insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Sneyd Green conveyancing?

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Sneyd Green bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Sneyd Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Sneyd Green is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Sneyd Green are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sneyd Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sneyd Green may decide 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 premises.
