In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Parkstone? Is this really necessary?

Parkstone conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no more than three months).

Confirmation of the origin of monies is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are required to investigate that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the proceeds of criminal behaviour.

I'm buying my first flat in Parkstone with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Parkstone. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Most leases in Parkstone do not contain subletting altogether – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
