Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whitechapel

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Whitechapel. What is the rationale as to why all Whitechapel property lawyers are not on all bank panels?

Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to lenders culling a number of firms off their panel of approved solicitors .

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Whitechapel. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Whitechapel?

You are taking a significant risk in refusing to carrying out Whitechapel conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in the strongest possible terms that your conveyancer conducts them. If timings and cost are primary concerns you should consider with your lawyer about the possibility of search insurance

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Whitechapel? Is this really necessary?

Whitechapel conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill no older than three months).

Evidence of the origin of monies is also required in compliance with the money laundering laws as solicitors have a duty to check that the monies you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the product of illegitimate behaviour.
