Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you refuse to provide identification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Bexley
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Bexley conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
