What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in High Holborn? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your conveyancer will not be able to take you on as a client.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in High Holborn. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. High Holborn is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in High Holborn are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in High Holborn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in High Holborn may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in High Holborn
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred High Holborn conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
