Me and my partner are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Mawsley with a mortgage. We like our Mawsley lawyer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to appoint one of the lender panel firms or keep our Mawsley as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your Mawsley conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Mawsley? What am I being asked for?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Mawsley. However these days you will not be able to complete any conveyancing transaction if you have not supplying evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of identification it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.
Proof of the origin of monies is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your lawyer will need to have this information on file. Your Mawsley conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions regarding the origin of funds.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Mawsley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Mawsley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mawsley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mawsley 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 residence.
