In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Salisbury? Why is this being asked of me?
In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Salisbury conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to check not simply the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may result in your solicitor ending their relationship 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 notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
