In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Park Hill? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Park Hill 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 evidencing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to validate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
Should my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Park Hill.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Park Hill. There are those who buy a property in Park Hill, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Park Hill. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Park Hill concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
