What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stoke Poges? Is this really warranted?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Stoke Poges conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to ascertain not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your conveyancer terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

My husband and I are hoping to buy a newbuild flat in Stoke Poges with a homeloan from Britannia.We use our Stoke Poges conveyancing solicitor but Britannia says his firm is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Britannia panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Britannia use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Britannia conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
