We are buying our first home. The property lawyer has messagedto enquire if we want to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Rise Park
The type of Rise Park conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could supply. You may then decide if you personally think you need that search. Where you are unsure, ask the conveyancing practitioner to offer guidance.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rise Park? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Rise Park. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal in the absence handing over proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Verification of the source of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer must retain this information on record. Your Rise Park conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries concerning the source of funds.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Rise Park prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

Back In 2004, I bought a leasehold house in Rise Park. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Rise Park who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Rise Park conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Rise Park conveyancing firm to represent me?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Rise Park conveyancing firm who can help.

My wife and I are buying a studio flat in Rise Park. At the point of instructing our conveyancer, they assured us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker called yesterday to say that they don't appear to be on the Skipton approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a different conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Skipton selecting their own approved lawyer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchaser’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the conveyancer has to satisfy. Some mortgage companies now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact Skipton and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Skipton's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Rise Park solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
