As someone clueless as to the Surrey Quays conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Surrey Quays
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Surrey Quays or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Surrey Quays is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Surrey Quays 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

Much to my surprise my lawyer in Surrey Quays has informed me that he requires proof of ID documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a solicitor on the bank Conveyancing panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not unique to conveyancing in Surrey Quays
