What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Whiteley? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Whiteley conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are obliged by law to ascertain not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your conveyancer ending their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Whiteley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Whiteley. We have lived in Whiteley for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
