What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Waterlooville? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Waterlooville 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 showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to investigate not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will 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 conveyancers are duty bound to inform the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
