In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Shoreditch conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are obliged by law to check not simply the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your conveyancer cancelling 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 inform the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
