we are a couple who wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Armthorpe with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society.We have a Armthorpe conveyancing solicitor but Chelsea Building Society advised that he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Chelsea Building Society panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers needs to be on the Chelsea Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society

The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800.

My property lawyer in Armthorpe has informed me that he requires personal identification documents stating that this is part of his obligations as a solicitor on the bank Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not specific to conveyancing in Armthorpe
