What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brynmill? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Brynmill conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to check not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

How does conveyancing in Brynmill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brynmill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Brynmill tend to acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Brynmill or who has acted in the same development.
