What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Kendal? What am I being asked for?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Kendal conveyancing firm will require proof of 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, conveyancers are required to investigate not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your solicitor cancelling their retainer 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 notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Flying freeholds in Kendal are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kendal you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kendal may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.
