What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Flint? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Flint. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process without first handing over evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.
Proof of the source of funds is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your lawyer will need to retain this information on record. Your Flint conveyancing practitioner 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 questions concerning the origin of monies.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I am aiming to move house in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Flint. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only be done when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Flint or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Flint.
Is it correct that all Flint CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel?
Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Flint solicitor on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I bought my apartment on 1 May and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Flint advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Flint uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Flint registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
