What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Netherne? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Netherne. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing deal in the absence handing over proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.
Verification of your origin of monies is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancing solicitor will need to retain this information on record. Your Netherne conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask further queries regarding the origin of funds.

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Netherne lawyer.

My partner and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Netherne and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Coventry BS.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Netherne is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
