In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chapel Allerton? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Chapel Allerton. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing transaction in the absence submitting evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.
Verification of your source of money is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must have this information on record.

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Chapel Allerton?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank to determine if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Chapel Allerton.
Can you help - my lawyer says that breach of easement insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Chapel Allerton conveyancing?
The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Chapel Allerton. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
You must advise Co-operative before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel firm.
My offer on a detached house in Chapel Allerton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Chapel Allerton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Chapel Allerton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Chapel Allerton.
