In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Chathill? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Should you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Chathill. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

I have instructed a Chathill property lawyer having checked that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Chathill surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
