Souldusing a Dore conveyancing solicitor make my purchase more efficient?

In the main conveyancing solicitors in your location will benefit from good alliances with your local authority, which could help with your Dore conveyancing searches that your lawyer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they have strong relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Dore, other property lawyers in the area and Dore property agents.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Dore? Is this really warranted?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Dore 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 account evidencing your correct address.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to check not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Will our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Dore.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Dore. There are those who buy a property in Dore, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Dore. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect response. A buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Dore is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Dore are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dore you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dore 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.
