Instructions
If you want us to act for you there are three things we need:
- We ask that you fill in and return to us our client instructions form.
This can be printed off, completed and either posted or faxed back to us. Alternatively it can be returned to us through e-mail. - We also ask for a payment on account of £150.
If sending payment by cheque please make your cheque payable to "GB Solicitors Ltd". If you prefer to make payment by credit or debit card please indicate this on the form and a member of our staff will call you to take your card details. - We must take steps to verify your identity to comply with current UK government requirements.
Confirmation of your name(s) can be given by ensuring that any cheque you send to us is a personal cheque drawn on an account in your name(s). With joint clients who do not have a joint bank account it is helpful to let us have two cheques for £75 each - one drawn on each person's bank account. For card payments a card is usually only in one name so this will only usually be sufficient to confirm the name of one person.
Please be aware that on every sale and on every purchase assisted by a mortgage there are stricter identification requirements that need to be complied with before a transaction is completed. Often we will need to see at least two documents per person including their original passport. We deal with these additional identification requirements later in the transaction - usually when we see you to arrange for the legal papers to be signed.
