In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Dunstable? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should 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. Should you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your lawyer will not be able to take you on as a client.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Dunstable. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Given that you have now exchanged you should find a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
I am due to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Dunstable. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.

You should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Dunstable or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Dunstable.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Dunstable off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. 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.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Dunstable
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Dunstable conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
