In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Pontarddulais? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Pontarddulais conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to ascertain not only 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 lead to your conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
