In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Little Haven? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Little Haven?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the bank to determine if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Little Haven.
My wife and I buying a end of terrace house in Little Haven. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Little Haven can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party.

It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I am the single recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Little Haven. The Little Haven property was put into my name in August. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Little Haven is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Little Haven is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

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 property.
Do I need to be concerned about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Little Haven conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest lawyers to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
