Low Moor conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Evidence of source of funds is also required under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are obliged to check that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) rather than the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.

How does conveyancing in Low Moor differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Low Moor contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Low Moor tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Low Moor or who has acted in the same development.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of problems obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
