Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wincanton

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wincanton? Is this really necessary?

Wincanton conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).

Evidence of the origin of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as solicitors have a duty to ensure that the money you are using to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price if you are buying mortgage free) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of criminal behaviour.

Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to to identify solicitors on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Wincanton?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Wincanton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wincanton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

How do I use the search app to get a quote from a conveyancing lawyer in Wincanton on the panel for my lender?

1st pick a bank such as Santander, Coventry Building Society or TSB then type in your preferred area for example Wincanton. Conveyancing organisations in Wincanton and across England and Wales should be shown.
