What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rochford? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should 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. If you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer will not be able to take you on as a client.
We are selling our apartment in Rochford. Will my solicitor have to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Rochford I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rochford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
