In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tregaron? Why is this being asked of me?
Tregaron conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Proof of the origin of funds is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering laws as lawyers are obliged to investigate that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase price where you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) and is not the fruits of criminal activity.

How does conveyancing in Tregaron differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tregaron come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Tregaron typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tregaron or who has acted in the same development.
