We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Wrington
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Wrington conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
Our property lawyer in Wrington is asking me for ID documents asserting that this forms part of his legal duty as a conveyancer on the bank Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Wrington conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the lender also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the lender's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
