What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in West Haddon? Is this really necessary?
West Haddon conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (typically a Utility Bill no more than three months).
Evidence of the origin of funds is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as conveyancers have a duty to check that the monies you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase price where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of criminal behaviour.
