What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Syston? What am I being asked for?
Syston conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Evidence of source of funds is also required in compliance with the money laundering statutes as lawyers are duty bound to investigate that the funds you are using to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies if you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of criminal activity.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Syston. I need to find out if they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is call your conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Syston what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Syston conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 planning to move property in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Syston. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only occur once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Syston or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Syston.
is it true that all Syston solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be governed by the CLC.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Syston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Syston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Syston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Syston may determine 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 residence.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold flat in Syston. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Syston who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Syston conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I acquired a garden flat in Syston, conveyancing having been completed in 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Syston with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2081
You have 55 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
