My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Elland with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We would like to retain our Elland conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 Godiva Mortgages Ltd

My property lawyer in Elland is asking me for proof of ID documents asserting that this forms part of his obligations as a conveyancer on the bank Conveyancing panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Elland
