JB Leitch Real Estate Introduce Remote ID Verification for Businesses…

Further to the successful introduction of online identity verification for individuals making property transfers, JB Leitch Real Estate has now extended the service to provide valuable support to property businesses, such as conveyancers, by completing ID5 forms to verify companies.

Land Registry ID5 forms are used in conjunction with ID2 forms to verify the proof of identity of Corporate Bodies, usually where the corporate body is involved in a Land Registry related property transaction. The process provides the proof of identity of the individual representing the corporate entity and also their legal authority to lawfully represent the corporate entity.

Head of Real Estate Rob Denman explains further: “the process largely mirrors the process established for ID1 verification for individuals, involving part completion of the ID2 & ID5 forms developed for business representatives such as Directors or Company Secretaries. We undertake full diligence checks prior to the call and the documents are completed by our team during the scheduled verification session”.

The ability to undertake this process online has already proven to be practical, safe and convenient during the coronavirus crisis, and for businesses handling increasing - and urgent - volumes of property transactions, this service offers a cost effective and timely solution.

During our long relationship, JB Leitch has become part of our core team. Their Landlord and Tenant advice is authoritative and clear, and they understand our sector inside out. Their credit control service is highly effective, but also sensitive to the wider relationship we have with our leaseholders

We have worked with JB Leitch for many years now. Their knowledge surrounding the legalities and technicalities of Service Charge collection is excellent and their approach is always helpful and professional.

During this particularly challenging time they continue to provide invaluable support by remaining easily contactable, sending regular reports and offering solutions to any problems that may arise.

Over the last five years we have built a solid relationship with JB Leitch, they have provided us with a remarkable ground rent collection service for our freehold property portfolio on criteria and non-criteria debts. They provide a fast, effective recovery of our stand alone Ground Rent and also through their bolt-on Service Charge recovery by liaising with multiple managing agents on our behalf.

I would highly recommend JB Leitch although part of me would like to keep them a secret to ensure we have the advantage over competitors. They have increased my knowledge of the legal processes as well as the preparation required to avoid any issues from the beginning.

After using JB Leitch for a number of years, we have personally found them to be very professional and reliable. Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward use JB Leitch on a large number of blocks and have recovered an outstanding amount of service charge arrears, in a particular case recovering over £12,000 from one owner.
Carl Warland - Block & Portfolio Management Director - Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward
JB Leitch are simply excellent. It is good to know that we are dealing with a market leading firm who provide superb quality up-to-date advice. When we give JB Leitch an instruction, whether a routine enfranchisement or a complex leasehold query they always deliver. They are highly responsive, professional and have a great team. A pleasure to do business with!
