In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Callerton? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Callerton 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 account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to investigate not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your conveyancer terminating their relationship 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 inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
