Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom flat in tipton with a mortgage. We would like to retain our tipton lawyer, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our tipton and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your tipton conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

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

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any tipton conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

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

I am helping my aunt sell her house in tipton. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a required component of moving property. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. It is not something that solicitors normally organise. Where you are instructing a tipton conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established tipton providers

We are in the midst of a leasehold sale of a flat in tipton. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount by the managing agents. To date we have forked out £237 for a leasehold management pack and then another £117.20 for responses to questions raised by the buyers .

You will not have control over the level of the bill for this information but the typical costs for the information for tipton leasehold premises is £360. For tipton conveyancing sales it is conventional for the owner to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates fixed charges for administrative tasks. Nor is there any set time frame by which they are required to supply the information.
