In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Edenthorpe? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Edenthorpe conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are required to validate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your lawyer cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the RBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Edenthorpe?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am assisting my sister sell her property in Edenthorpe. Does the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a mandatory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. This is not something that conveyancers normally organise. Where you are using a Edenthorpe conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local accredited person
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Edenthorpe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. Some lenders would take a practical view as this provision primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
We were going to get a DIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Edenthorpe solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Edenthorpe solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Edenthorpe is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Edenthorpe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.
