I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Todwick. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy are using a conveyancing firm in Todwick who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary drawbacks with executing a lock out contract (also known as a no-shop agreement) is that it can distract from progressing with the conveyancing work, so unless it requires little or no negotiation then it may transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not particularly popular by Todwick conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A supplemental concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to be issued with an injunctive ruling by a court to bar the owner selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the reimbursement of abortive charges and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Todwick? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Todwick conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your solicitor cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Todwick. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Todwick

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Todwick
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Todwick conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Todwick.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual given that all rents and maintenance payments will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
