What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Lynton? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.
My fiance and I are purchasing a purpose built flat in Lynton with a homeloan from Halifax.We like our Lynton conveyancing practitioner but Halifax says she’s not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Halifax panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Halifax panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Halifax approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Halifax

The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
