In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cowley? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cowley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Cowley I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cowley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
The solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Cowley has sent papers to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at the Land Registry?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Cowley are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Cowley that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Cowley property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Cowley conveyancing practitioners will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the prevailing recommendation presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to register it first and then sell - this this chain of events will cause a drawn-out conveyancing.
