My financial adviser has asked me for my Keelby solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have tried my local Keelby branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Keelby . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Keelby? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Keelby. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first submitting evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a bank statement. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.
Evidence of the source of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer will need to have this information on record. Your Keelby conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further questions regarding the source of monies.
We're in Keelby, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is , and our solicitor is on the conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I own a terraced Georgian property in Keelby. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Keelby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Keelby I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Keelby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
