Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Elmswell

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Elmswell is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?

That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Elmswell conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Elmswell? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

With 77 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus professional fees.
