In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Grassendale? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign should 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. Where you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.
Is there a search tool that I can utilise to check that the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Grassendale is on the lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Chelsea Building Society thus paying £175.00 in another set of legal charges.
Feel free to make the most of the search tool on this web page. Pick the mortgage company and type ‘Grassendale’ or your preferred area and you will be presented with numerous conveyancers located in Grassendale or nearest you.
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Grassendale house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Grassendale.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Grassendale is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Grassendale are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grassendale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grassendale 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.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my aunt I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Grassendale. My lawyer (based 260 kilometers from merequires that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Grassendale to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Grassendale based
