What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Quorn? Is this really necessary?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Quorn 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 your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to validate not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer terminating 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 inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as UBS, do Quorn conveyancing practitioners have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

My fiancee and I are in the throws of viewing flats in Quorn and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Barclays.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Quorn bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Quorn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the solicitor is on the bank panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
