In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Poole? Why is this being asked of me?
Poole conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Confirmation of the origin of funds is also necessary under the money laundering laws as conveyancers are required to check that the funds you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the proceeds of illegitimate activity.

You have 67 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
