I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Wallington. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Wallington. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Wallington conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it will likely be be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Wallington will provide you some constructive guidance concerning this.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wallington? What am I being asked for?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Wallington. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process without first supplying proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Proof of your origin of money is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor must retain this information on record. Your Wallington conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they will also ask additional questions concerning the origin of monies.

I am purchasing my first flat in Wallington with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with The Mortgage Works. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
