I am getting a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Walkden. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Walkden? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Walkden. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing transaction in the absence submitting proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Verification of the origin of monies is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer will need to retain this information on record. Your Walkden conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask further questions regarding the origin of funds.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Walkden took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Walkden and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Walkden
