In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Earl Shilton? Is this really warranted?
It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Earl Shilton. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process if you have not supplying evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Evidence of your origin of monies is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer will need to have this information on file. Your Earl Shilton conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any money from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions concerning the source of funds.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Earl Shilton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies.

Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Earl Shilton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Earl Shilton approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Earl Shilton typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Earl Shilton or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Earl Shilton. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our mortgage broker called just now to say that they are not on the Aldermore approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or should we pay for separate representation, with Aldermore selecting their own approved lawyer.
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a solicitor has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to fulfill. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your lawyer should contact Aldermore to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Earl Shilton solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.
