In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Aylestone 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 evidencing where you reside.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to ascertain not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will 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.

We were going to get a OIP from this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Aylestone solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and through the process.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Aylestone is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Aylestone are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aylestone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aylestone may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
