In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Nag's Head? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Nag's Head conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to investigate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Nag's Head. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?
Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Skipton directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel firm.
