Would the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend carry out auction conveyancing in South Wimbledon?

There are a few niche solicitors we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. South Wimbledon is one of the many locations where our lawyers have offices.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in South Wimbledon? Is this really warranted?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any South Wimbledon 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 account evidencing your correct address.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your lawyer ending 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.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Principality as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in South Wimbledon. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby South Wimbledon solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. South Wimbledon conveyancing practitioners are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton done the survey? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a South Wimbledon conveyancer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Skipton mortgage has been paid off.
