In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stanwell? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Stanwell conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to check not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your conveyancer cancelling their retainer 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 notify the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Stanwell. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this requirement principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

Stanwell conveyancing on leasehold flats normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be content to assist. They may invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
