My financial adviser has asked me for my Rainford lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Rainford office but they don't know it.
Have you tried calling your Rainford conveyancer about this?. Most Rainford conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rainford? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Rainford conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to validate not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer terminating 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 notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Rainford. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rainford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing a new build house in Rainford with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it could jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My husband and I are a fortnight into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to solicitors by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Rainford. I am am extremely disappointed with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A conveyancer would need to be really poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new conveyancer and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Rainford conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Rainford conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with two or three firms including non Rainford conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold.
