What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hither Green? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Hither Green conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to check not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer cancelling 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 believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hither Green. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Hither Green.

In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
