In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bungay? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Bungay conveyancing firm will require proof of 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 reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to ascertain not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your lawyer cancelling 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 inform the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
