In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stamford Hill? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Stamford Hill. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing transaction if you have not handing over proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.
Verification of the source of monies is required in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer must have this information on record. Your Stamford Hill conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask further queries regarding the origin of funds.
My fiance and I decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Stamford Hill with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society.We would like to retain our Stamford Hill conveyancing practitioner but Nottingham Building Society informed us her practice is not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or keep our preferred solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Stamford Hill
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Stamford Hill conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am being advised by my conveyancer that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Stamford Hill?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Stamford Hill. The Stamford Hill property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this clause primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Stamford Hill. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Stamford Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Stamford Hill conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the price payable.

The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 59 years.
