What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Boroughbridge? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Boroughbridge conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to validate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor terminating 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 inform the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
