In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Broseley? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you refuse to provide identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

How does conveyancing in Broseley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Broseley approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Broseley tend to buy 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 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 Broseley or who has acted in the same development.
We own a leasehold flat in Broseley. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have read on a number of advice forums that I should not let the the remaining lease term to fall too low. Is this correct?
Broseley residential long term leases are for a fixed term - normally 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant flats in Broseley were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have at least seventy five years remaining to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also advantages to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
