I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in St Annes. The vast majority the appartments are already occupied. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in St Annes?

If you getting a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then St Annes conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in St Annes.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in St Annes? Is this really warranted?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in St Annes ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to issue a mortgage on such a property.
