What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Lee? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Lee for our house purchase. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

How does conveyancing in Lee differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lee contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Lee usually buy the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lee or who has acted in the same development.
Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Lee I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehome move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Lee should be the figure that you are charged.
