In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Polesworth? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Polesworth 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 account showing where you reside.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to ascertain not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your lawyer 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 inform the appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
