In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tring? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Tring conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal 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 will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
The Tring conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Tring have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my preferred Tring lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
Is it the case that all Tring CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Tring conveyancing practitioners are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the survey? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Tring. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Tring I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tring suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a property in Tring I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor about myconveyancing ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Tring should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
