You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions.

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.
