My financial adviser requires my Leominster solicitor’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have called my local Leominster office but they cant find it on their system.

My partner and I are acquiring a newly built duplex in Leominster and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Leominster? Is this really necessary?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Leominster conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your conveyancer ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
My apartment in Leominster is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
