What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bloxham? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Bloxham conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to validate 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 may lead to your lawyer cancelling their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
