Stony Stratford conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the ID of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of source of monies is also required in compliance with the money laundering regulations as conveyancers are required to ensure that the monies you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase amount where you are buying mortgage free) has come from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate activity.
