It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Leigh. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing process without first supplying evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.

Evidence of your source of money is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer will need to have this information on record. Your Leigh conveyancing solicitor will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask additional questions regarding the source of monies.
