What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Rowlands Gill? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
