I can't travel far from Hadley Wood. Can you please spell out why all Hadley Wood conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies culling less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hadley Wood? What am I being asked for?
Hadley Wood conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Evidence of the origin of monies is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as lawyers are required to ensure that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has come from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of illegitimate activity.
