My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a house in Ambleside and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ambleside? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Ambleside. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first supplying evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a bank statement. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.
Verification of your source of money is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer will need to retain this information on file.

I'm at the point of looking at flats in Ambleside and I am about to put in an offer. Is it advisable to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a home loan with Yorkshire BS.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Ambleside prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not give a loan on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can investigate further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ambleside. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Ambleside to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
My wife and I are acquiring a first floor flat in Ambleside. When we first instructed property lawyer, they told us that they were on all mainstream lender panels. The financial adviser emailed just now to say that they don't seem to be on the Santander approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we just choose a new property lawyer that is on their approved list or should we pay for dual representation, with Santander appointing their own approved lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to satisfy. Some banks now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your lawyer should call Santander to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Santander's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Ambleside solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
