Marlborough conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).

Evidence of the origin of monies is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as lawyers are mandated to check that the money you are utilising to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount if you are a cash purchaser) has come from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the product of illegitimate activity.
