    @T9OTE Afaik, it doesn't happen usually but nothing to worry about in itself, perhaps the solicitor didn't do everything that was required or it was picked up in a random audit. Hope it completes on time, good luck!

    It is strange that the lender is going to the solicitor. 
    Usually the lender would come to you or your broker.

    I think this is probably the solicitor who has either not got enough evidence of AML on file or they have lost/deleted the original document you sent and are asking for more but blaming the lender.
