In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tadworth? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Tadworth conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to investigate not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your lawyer terminating 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 relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Tadworth
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Tadworth conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Tadworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Tadworth bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Tadworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Tadworth?
If a Tadworth property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your conveyancer would simply be asked to supply proof as to the reason the joint owner is not included in the transfer, normally this takes the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
