Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Thornhill who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Britannia. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are prepared to spend time scrutinising quotes you might decrease the fees slightly by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the assistance the firm offered you couldlive to rue choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can represent Britannia. Do make use of our search tool to find a Thornhill conveyancing firm on the Britannia approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Thornhill.
Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Thornhill but as a result of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Clydesdale approved list is required to inform Clydesdale of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Thornhill.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Thornhill? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Thornhill conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your lawyer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
