AssumingI was to buy a straightforward housein Kesgrave mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Kesgrave?
Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the Kesgrave conveyancing searches. The property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be a lot.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kesgrave? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Kesgrave. Nowadays you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing transaction in the absence supplying evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Proof of your origin of monies is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must have this information on file. Your Kesgrave conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries concerning the source of monies.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kesgrave
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Kesgrave conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
