Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and insight.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in North Kensington? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any North Kensington conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. North Kensington is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in North Kensington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in North Kensington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Kensington may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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.
My cousin is purchasing a shared ownership flat in North Kensington. He has received a fee estimate by the lawyer suggested by the selling agents and it came to £1245 . It was 7 years ago since I sold and purchased a home and the bill was £500. Have charges really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example North Kensington searches, land registry fees, etc)
