What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hassocks? What am I being asked for?
Hassocks conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Confirmation of source of funds is also required under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to investigate that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) rather than the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a Hassocks based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the mortgage company to explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Hassocks.
