In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stalybridge? Why is this being asked of me?

Stalybridge conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to produce two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).

Proof of source of funds is also required in compliance with the money laundering regulations as conveyancers are mandated to investigate that the money you are using to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies if you are buying mortgage free) has come from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) as opposed to the proceeds of criminal behaviour.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Stalybridge

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your own,trusted Stalybridge conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
