I chose a high street firm for my conveyancing in Tickhill yesterday. Upon checking the fine print I seeI am on the hook for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use an internet conveyancing company advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Tickhill?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract those cases that abort. Do bear in mind that such deals tend not to protect you from outlay such as Tickhill conveyancing search expenses.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tickhill? Why is this being asked of me?
Tickhill conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers accross the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Confirmation of source of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering regulations as solicitors are duty bound to investigate that the money you are utilising to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the product of illegitimate behaviour.
I am intent on selling our property in Tickhill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Tickhill. Having lived in Tickhill for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tickhill prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to give a mortgage on such a property.

What makes a Tickhill lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Tickhill. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, The Mortgage Works, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
