What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bonvilston? Is this really necessary?

It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Bonvilston. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing deal without first handing over proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.

Verification of your origin of monies is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must have this information on record. Your Bonvilston conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they should also ask additional queries concerning the source of monies.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bonvilston for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders HSBC Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Bonvilston conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms concerning their operations and their employees and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Bonvilston conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Bonvilston is amongst the thousands of areas where the conveyancers we recommend are on the panel for HSBC Bank.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bonvilston I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bonvilston suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
