What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Waterbeach? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.

I was recommended by a few property agents in Waterbeach to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Waterbeach?
Conveyancing - in Waterbeach or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you complete your move.
