I am getting a mortgage with Santander. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Bruton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bruton? What am I being asked for?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Bruton. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process without first supplying evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.
Evidence of the source of monies is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor will need to have this information on file. Your Bruton conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they should also ask further questions concerning the origin of monies.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Bruton conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Bruton.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Bruton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Bruton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
