What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hampton? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to to identify firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Hampton?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Hampton what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Hampton conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Hampton solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase house in Hampton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hampton lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
