In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Swiss Cottage? Is this really necessary?

Swiss Cottage conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).

Evidence of source of monies is also required in accordance with the money laundering laws as lawyers are required to check that the monies you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) and is not the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.
