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

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Mid Wales conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to validate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Mid Wales. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mid Wales

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Mid Wales I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mid Wales suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
