I am purchasing a house for cash in Rhos On Sea. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Rhos On Sea. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Rhos On Sea conveyancing searches are at your discretion.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rhos On Sea? What am I being asked for?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Rhos On Sea conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to investigate not simply the ID 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 conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
