In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Iver? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Iver conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may 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 are duty bound to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
