What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Newquay? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt 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. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.
My lawyer in Newquay is not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:

- Find a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are on the The Royal Bank of Scotland panel
I just acquired a property at auction in Newquay. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now exchanged you should appoint a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. An auction property should have an associated auction set of papers. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must hand this to the conveyancer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .
We had appointed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Newquay on the RBS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the RBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by RBS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your Newquay solicitor. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My husband and I are at the point of looking at flats in Newquay and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Barclays.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Barclays, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of obstruction in Newquay conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Newquay.
