What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Wilton? What am I being asked for?
Wilton conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Proof of source of monies is also required under the money laundering regulations as lawyers have a duty to ensure that the money you are utilising to buy a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase amount where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.

We have lived in Wilton for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 ailment)
