I can't travel far from Stroud. Please spell out why all Stroud conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Banks tend to impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that the practice needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have made a decision to limit the number of conveyancers they use to act for them. You should note that lenders have no accountability for the quality of conveyancing given by any Stroud solicitor on their approved list. Property fraud was the main trigger for the reduction of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are contrary points of view about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via HMLR reveal that thousands of law practices only transact less than three conveyances a year. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls question why law firms deserve claim to be on a conveyancing panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stroud? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you need 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 identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.
