What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Winnersh? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Winnersh conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to investigate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your lawyer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

How does conveyancing in Winnersh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Winnersh come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Winnersh usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winnersh or who has acted in the same development.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Winnersh from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Winnersh can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a Winnersh conveyancing transaction. If a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. Some Winnersh leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Winnersh charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Winnersh.
