In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Trelogan? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

How does conveyancing in Trelogan differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Trelogan contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Trelogan usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 Trelogan or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Trelogan is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Trelogan are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Trelogan you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Trelogan may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
