In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Elm Park conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to validate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is more than ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
