This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a bank statement. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.

Don’t be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer must retain this information on record. Your Northwick Park conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries concerning the origin of monies.

You will need to appoint Northwick Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
