In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Sanderstead? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Sanderstead conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal 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 consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
I am selling our property in Sanderstead and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Sanderstead lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sanderstead. We have lived in Sanderstead for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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)
I'm buying a new build house in Sanderstead with a loan from . The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
