In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Oxted? What am I being asked for?
Oxted conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Evidence of the origin of monies is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as solicitors are required to check that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of criminal behaviour.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Oxted 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor should be aware precisely where to locate all the relevant paperwork so you may buy or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Oxted is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Oxted are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oxted you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Oxted may decide 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 residence.
