In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wellington? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Wellington. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing transaction if you have not supplying evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a bank statement.

There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Wellington but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Wellington
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Wellington conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Wellington lawyer on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wellington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wellington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wellington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wellington may ascertain 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 property.

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Wellington conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
