The Abergele conveyancing firm handling our Abergele conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Abergele? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Abergele conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to ascertain not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your conveyancer cancelling 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 make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 premises.
