What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Towyn? Is this really necessary?
Towyn conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Evidence of the origin of funds is also required under the money laundering regulations as lawyers have a duty to investigate that the monies you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies if you are buying mortgage free) has come from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.

Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian property in Towyn. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Towyn and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Towyn. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Towyn
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Towyn I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Towyn in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
