In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to check not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
