In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Shenstone? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the UK Finance Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.
I require expedited conveyancing in Shenstone as I am under a deadline to sign on the dotted line inside one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

I'm buying my first flat in Shenstone benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it could impact my loan with Nottingham Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Shenstone
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Shenstone conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
My parents cant seem to find their Shenstone land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that 48 years ago when they purchased the house there were complications concerning Shenstone not being identified on some systems.
The vast majority of properties in Shenstone should appear. Have you tried a search to simply the postcode. Normally it will disclose all the residences within that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s bank.
