In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Tonyrefail? What am I being asked for?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?

UBS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel firm.
