What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Crawcrook? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Crawcrook but what is your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Crawcrook
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Crawcrook conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Crawcrook conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Crawcrook. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Crawcrook.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when purchasing a property in Crawcrook? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Crawcrook?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Crawcrook to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Crawcrook I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Crawcrook for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
