In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cranfield? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Cranfield conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to check not only the identity 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 solicitor ending their retainer 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 make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Cranfield. The Cranfield property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
