I can't travel far from Great Missenden. Is there a reason why all Great Missenden solicitors aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are becoming ever more anxious and feel it necessary to defend themselves against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern banks have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.
My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Great Missenden and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the mortgage company about my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to delay the deal?
Your conveyancer is obliged to clarify with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Great Missenden? Is this really necessary?
You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Great Missenden. However these days you will not be able to complete any conveyancing transaction if you have not providing evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper part as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.
Evidence of your source of funds is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer will need to have this information on record. Your Great Missenden conveyancing solicitor will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they may also ask further questions concerning the source of monies.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Great Missenden. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as normal as all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
