In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Great Harwood? What am I being asked for?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Great Harwood conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to check not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your conveyancer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
