My IFA has requested my Fitzrovia lawyer’ panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Fitzrovia branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Fitzrovia conveyancer . Most Fitzrovia conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Fitzrovia? Why is this being asked of me?
Fitzrovia conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Evidence of source of monies is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as solicitors are mandated to investigate that the monies you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has come from legitimate source (such as an inheritance) rather than the proceeds of criminal activity.
What is the optimum way to investigate if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Fitzrovia is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Nationwide Building Society thus spending £192.00 in another set of conveyancing charges.
