What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Burnham Market? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Burnham Market conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Burnham Market?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Burnham Market 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Burnham Market is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Burnham Market are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Burnham Market you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burnham Market may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
