What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Turnham Green? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Turnham Green is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Turnham Green are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Turnham Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Turnham Green may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years remaining on my lease in Turnham Green. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent would be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Turnham Green.
