You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Nettleham conveyancing searches.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Nettleham? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Nettleham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you live.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to ascertain not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
