My partner and I are buying our first property. Our lawyer has e-mailedto enquire if we want to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we are clueless as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Duston
The number and type of Duston conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information each search could give you. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Where you are unclear, ask the property lawyer to offer guidance.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Duston? Is this really warranted?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Duston 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 account showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to ascertain not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your lawyer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Duston I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Duston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I am hoping to acquire a repression house in Duston and the bank selling would like to complete inside a month. Do property lawyers meet that timeframe? Would it be better to use a high street Duston firm or an online organisation that advertises to offer speedy conveyancing?
