What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Harringay? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Harringay conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to 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 make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Harringay I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Harringay in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Newport but I am based in Harringay.

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Harringay based
We have just had an offer accepted on our first home in Harringay, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the various rating tools and the quotes are from all over the country. Is it important to have a Harringay solicitor local to the potential new home? I am willing to do everything over the web, but I assume at some stage we may need to attend the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?
On the whole there is no requirement to physically visit the office of your lawyer, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers nevertheless opt to instruct a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Harringay.
