My mortgage broker requires my Ashbourne solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have tried my local Ashbourne office but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Ashbourne conveyancer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Ashbourne and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is duty bound to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank 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 Ashbourne? Why is this being asked of me?
Ashbourne conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Evidence of source of monies is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering regulations as solicitors are mandated to investigate that the monies you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies if you are buying mortgage free) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) rather than the fruits of criminal behaviour.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
