What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rossendale? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Rossendale 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 your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your conveyancer cancelling 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 consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Rossendale

I am buying a garden apartment in Rossendale. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was informed that the seller must send the insurance paperwork for the flat above in addition. Why would my conveyancer need to check the insurance for the other flat?
