Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Droylsden. I would like to know the understand why all Droylsden solicitors are not on all bank panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s perspective, the flip side is that banks are becoming ever more anxious and consider it imperative to shield themselves against illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Droylsden? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Droylsden. Nowadays you can not proceed with any conveyancing transaction in the absence supplying proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a utility bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.
Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on record. Your Droylsden conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask additional queries regarding the source of funds.
My wife and I are selling our property in Droylsden and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Droylsden. We have lived in Droylsden for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
