In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Brigg? What am I being asked for?
Brigg conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Proof of the origin of funds is also required under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to ensure that the money you are using to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the product of criminal behaviour.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Brigg. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I purchased my flat on 8 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Brigg said it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Brigg uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Brigg is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
