What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Romsey? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.
Is it the case that all Romsey conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
We previously appointed conveyancers based in Romsey on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Romsey conveyancer. Some firms on the Kent Reliance panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Romsey took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
