What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Sunbury? Is this really warranted?
Sunbury conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the premises has historically flooded.

The purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
