In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Halewood? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you refuse to supply identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Halewood , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Halewood conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Halewood is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
