What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Treforest? Why is this being asked of me?

Treforest conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no older than three months).

Proof of the origin of monies is also required under the money laundering laws as solicitors have a duty to investigate that the funds you are utilising to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount where you are buying mortgage free) has come from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of criminal behaviour.

we are a couple who intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in Treforest with a homeloan from Coventry Building Society.We like our Treforest conveyancing practitioner but Coventry Building Society advised that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Coventry Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Coventry Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

My aim is to purchase a garden maisonette in Treforest. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule. I was told today I was advised that the vendor must send the insurance paperwork for the flat above as well. Why would my property lawyer need to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly required? We have been waiting for the last month…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Treforest to find Conveyancing in Treforest in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire property - which is definitely better. Do contact your solicitor but it would seem that your property lawyer is seeking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance.
