In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Woodside? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Woodside. Nowadays you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process in the absence handing over evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.

Your Woodside conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they will also ask further questions concerning the origin of funds.
I am aiming to move home in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Woodside. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Woodside or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Woodside.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Woodside conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Virgin Money to send the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money conducted the valuation? Have you informed Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
We expect to receive a AIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

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