In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Laindon? What am I being asked for?
Laindon conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Confirmation of source of monies is also required under the money laundering laws as lawyers are duty bound to investigate that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has come from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the proceeds of criminal activity.
What will a local search tell me regarding the property I am buying in Laindon?

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Laindon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Laindon conveyancing specialists.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Laindon. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Laindon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
