In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Heswall? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Heswall conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to check not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom flat in Heswall with a loan from Nationwide Building Society.We have a Heswall conveyancing solicitor but Nationwide Building Society says her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Nationwide Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
