In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Moorgate? Is this really necessary?

Moorgate conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Confirmation of the origin of funds is also required under the money laundering laws as lawyers are required to investigate that the money you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of illegitimate activity.

I own a leasehold house in Moorgate. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Moorgate who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Moorgate conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Following years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Moorgate. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Moorgate conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Moorgate flat is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013.

This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term was 72.39 years.
