Good morning, afternoon or evening to all of our readers and welcome back to the LFBB Newsletter, May edition. As the sun beats down on Paradise Square so too shall our newsletter beat down with updates on legal matters, articles and news from everybody’s favourite corner of Paradise Square. So wherever you may be, we hope our newsletter brightens your day and puts a spring in your step!

“Sometimes clients call and email us wanting an update, only to be told that we are waiting for them to provide proof of identification and address.” This month’s special feature, Don’t You Know Who I Am?, was penned by part time scribe, full time conveyancer and all time legend, Ian Clay. It takes a look at why it is crucial not only for us, but you, the reader, to provide us with proof of who you are and where you live.

In addition to our article on ID verification, we have included some various articles on various topics, so dig in! We aim to keep you informed, educated, and equipped with the knowledge you need.

As always we’re here to help and committed to providing you with the best service possible. If anything in this month’s newsletter has made you think you ought to speak to a solicitor, you can contact us by calling 0114 272 9721, or clicking here
