To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Parsons Green conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter.

How does conveyancing in Parsons Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Parsons Green contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Parsons Green typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Parsons Green or who has acted in the same development.
