In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Finchley? Is this really warranted?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Finchley conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you live.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to validate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your lawyer ending 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 make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

The Finchley conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Finchley have without warning shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Finchley lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will 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 Nottingham 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 lawyers may be able to help.

We are aiming to move home in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Finchley. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this should only happen once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Finchley or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Finchley.
