What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Horfield? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Horfield conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to check not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Horfield , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Horfield conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Horfield is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties.

Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
