In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kings Norton? What am I being asked for?
Kings Norton conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Proof of the origin of monies is also required in compliance with the money laundering regulations as lawyers are obliged to investigate that the money you are using to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) and is not the product of criminal activity.

Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
