In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wareham? What am I being asked for?
Wareham conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Evidence of source of funds is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to check that the funds you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase price where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of criminal behaviour.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Wareham?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
We are planning to move house in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Wareham. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only happen once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Wareham or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Wareham.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Wareham. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Skipton have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Skipton your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Skipton. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Skipton where a lease does not meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Wareham.
About to purchase maisonette in Wareham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wareham conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Wareham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wareham. Having lived in Wareham for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying my first flat in Wareham benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
