In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Whimple? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should 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 are unwilling to supply identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.
I am thinking of mortgaging my property in Whimple, does my lawyer have to be on the Lloyds Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Lloyds will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
We are planning to move home in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Whimple. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this can only happen after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Whimple or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Whimple.

Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

My fiance and I may need to let out our Whimple garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Whimple conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Whimple conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
