In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Crabtree? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Crabtree conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to investigate not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
I am planning to move property in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Crabtree. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only happen after the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. You will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Crabtree. Do we need to choose a nearby Crabtree solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Yorkshire BS don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS list.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Crabtree conveyancing practitioners were instructed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to send the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property.
