In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Woolacombe? Is this really necessary?
Woolacombe conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
