I'm in the process of transferring my current residential loan to a Buy to Let Barclays Direct mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a conveyancer as part of the process. I got in contact with the same Oughtibridge conveyancing solicitor who who conducted the conveyancing when I originally purchased the premises. The costs estimate issued of £550 has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a bog-standard refinance.

The estimate fees appear a bit high. Where you are prepared to expend time comparing prices you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldcome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can act for Barclays Direct. Do make use of our search tool to select a Oughtibridge conveyancing firm on the Barclays Direct member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Oughtibridge.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Oughtibridge? What am I being asked for?

You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Oughtibridge. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing process without first submitting evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.

Verification of the origin of money is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on file. Your Oughtibridge conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask additional questions concerning the source of funds.

My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Oughtibridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Oughtibridge lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oughtibridge. Having lived in Oughtibridge for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Oughtibridge

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
