Me and my partner are acquiring our first house. The conveyancer has e-mailedto see if we want to take out additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we are clueless as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Bromborough

The scope of Bromborough conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could provide. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that information. Should you be in doubt, ask the lawyer to offer guidance.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bromborough? Why is this being asked of me?

It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Bromborough. Nowadays you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process in the absence providing evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.

Evidence of the origin of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must retain this information on file. Your Bromborough conveyancing solicitor will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask further questions regarding the origin of monies.

The Bromborough conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my purchase in Bromborough have suddenly closed. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my preferred Bromborough lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What do I do now?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
