What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Castelnau? What am I being asked for?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Castelnau conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to validate not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your lawyer terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Castelnau?

Conveyancing - in Castelnau or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you move in.
