What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in South Kensington? What am I being asked for?
South Kensington conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering regulations as solicitors are obliged to ensure that the money you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies if you are buying mortgage free) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the fruits of criminal behaviour.

I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in South Kensington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We expect to receive a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. South Kensington is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in South Kensington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside South Kensington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Kensington 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 property.
