What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Danbury? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you refuse to provide identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Danbury. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in .

How does conveyancing in Danbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Danbury approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Danbury usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Danbury or who has acted in the same development.
