In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bamber Bridge? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Bamber Bridge. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first providing evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a utility bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Proof of the origin of funds is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer will need to have this information on record. Your Bamber Bridge conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they will also ask further queries concerning the origin of monies.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Bamber Bridge?

How does conveyancing in Bamber Bridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bamber Bridge contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Bamber Bridge tend to purchase the site, 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 Bamber Bridge or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Bamber Bridge I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bamber Bridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Bamber Bridge
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Bamber Bridge conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
My wife and I are disposing of a Bamber Bridge flat left to us ten years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, wish to undertake my own conveyancing. The purchaser's lawyer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing insisting the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders state that If the vendor does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be notified so that a decision can be reached as to whether or not they are willing to move forward.
