Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Splott

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

You are right in the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Splott. Nowadays you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process without first providing proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper section as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.

Proof of the 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 conveyancing solicitor will need to have this information on record. Your Splott conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further queries regarding the origin of funds.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Splott?

You should check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the mortgage company and check if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Splott.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Splott conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Splott.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Splott. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Splott

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Splott. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Splott do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Splott - Examples of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    It would be sensible to investigate if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For instance plenty of leases prohibit pets being permitted in in a block in Splott. If you like the propertyin Splott but your cat can’t make the move with you then you will be presented with a difficult decision. How much is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the apartment?

I am purchasing a flat mortgage free. My lawyer has been given with two separate proof of photographic identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Splott conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill.
