What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Derbyshire? Is this really necessary?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Derbyshire conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you reside.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to validate not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your conveyancer 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 notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
