I am hoping to complete my purchase in Stalham next Thursday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What does the insurance need to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Stalham.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stalham? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Stalham conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to check not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your lawyer cancelling 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 appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Stalham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Stalham lawyer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
About to purchase flat in Stalham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stalham solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Stalham
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Stalham conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
