In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Emerson Park? What am I being asked for?
Emerson Park conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement no older than three months).
Confirmation of source of monies is also required under the money laundering statutes as conveyancers are obliged to ensure that the funds you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase amount where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the product of illegitimate behaviour.
