Much to our surprise we have been informed by our financial adviser that my Astley the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Astley conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Astley conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Astley? What am I being asked for?
Astley conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the identity 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 identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering laws as solicitors have a duty to check that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the fruits of criminal activity.

The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not meet these conditions.
