In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Linton? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Linton conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to ascertain not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor cancelling their relationship 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 monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
