In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Beaconsfield? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you refuse to provide identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.

The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Beaconsfield conveyancing specialists.
I was pointed in your direction by three or four local estate agents in Beaconsfield to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
