Some advice if I may. My Stalybridge solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Stalybridge conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Stalybridge conveyancing searches.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stalybridge? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Stalybridge 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 showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to investigate not simply 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 may lead to your solicitor cancelling 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 relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Stalybridge. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
