In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Uxbridge? Is this really warranted?
Uxbridge 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.
Conveyancing clients will need to provide two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of source of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering regulations as solicitors are duty bound to investigate that the funds you are using to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.
