In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cramlington? What am I being asked for?
Cramlington conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Cramlington. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this obligation principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

Me and my husband have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an a further fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have asked HSBC to supply me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
