What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ystradgynlais? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Ystradgynlais conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to ascertain not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in 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 consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
