What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Purton? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.
We are planning to move property in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Purton. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this can only take place when the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Purton or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Purton.

We previously instructed solicitors located in Purton on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Skipton but by your Purton lawyer. Some firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

How does conveyancing in Purton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Purton contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Purton typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Purton or who has acted in the same development.
My plan is to acquire a ground floor maisonette in Purton. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the owner, building insurance paperwork. I was told today I was informed that the seller must send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why would my solicitor need to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the previous 2 weeks…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Purton to discover Conveyancing in Purton in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole building - which is clearly preferable. Do contact your lawyer but it would seem that your property lawyer is looking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
