My financial adviser has asked me for my Ashbourne law firm’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have contacted my local Ashbourne branch but they have not got back to me yet.

We are approaching an exchange on a property in Ashbourne and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The 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 Ashbourne? Why is this being asked of me?
Ashbourne conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Confirmation of source of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as lawyers are obliged to ensure that the monies you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount if you are buying mortgage free) has originated from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.
