To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Shepton Mallet conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you reside.

An unwillingness to disclose this may lead to your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
