In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Catford? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Catford. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing deal if you have not handing over proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Proof of the source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must retain this information on record. Your Catford conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries concerning the source of monies.
The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Catford 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to find all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
