I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Hamworthy. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out flat in Hamworthy by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your solicitor and urge them to they apply pressure on the sellers solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look to achieve
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hamworthy? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.
