What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cleethorpes? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Cleethorpes. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a bank statement. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.
Verification of the source of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor will need to have this information on record. Your Cleethorpes conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further queries concerning the origin of funds.

I'm buying a new build house in Cleethorpes with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it would affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
