In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Allestree? Why is this being asked of me?
Allestree conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Proof of source of funds is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as solicitors are obliged to ensure that the money you are utilising to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.
My fiance and I are buying a purpose built flat in Allestree with a homeloan from Nottingham Building Society.We have a Allestree conveyancing lawyer but Nottingham Building Society says his firm is not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nottingham Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

I am buying a new build house in Allestree benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
