In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Hornsey Rise? Is this really warranted?
Hornsey Rise conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Myself and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that if they are not on their approved list of lawyers then we will have to pay out a further fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to select a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
Ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we may be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Hornsey Rise on the approved list for Nationwide.
