I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Wadebridge. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Wadebridge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
You will need to instruct a solicitor to deal with the legal work required if you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. The lawyer will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One could instruct a Wadebridge lawyer of your choosing. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wadebridge? Is this really necessary?

Proof of the origin of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must retain this information on file. Your Wadebridge conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries regarding the origin of monies.
