In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tarporley? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Tarporley 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 live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to check not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
I am being advised by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Tarporley?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Tarporley lawyer on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Tarporley. 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 Santander 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 Tarporley conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
