What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brentwood? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Brentwood. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process without first submitting evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it needs to be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Evidence of the origin of funds is required 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 file. Your Brentwood conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries concerning the source of funds.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Brentwood

I am due to move house in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Brentwood. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your property agent but this can only happen once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Brentwood or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Brentwood.
Is it correct that all Brentwood CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
How does conveyancing in Brentwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Brentwood come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Brentwood usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Brentwood or who has acted in the same development.
