In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Borth and Talybont? Is this really warranted?

Borth and Talybont conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients are required to provide two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill no more than three months).

Proof of the origin of monies is also necessary in accordance with the money laundering laws as lawyers are required 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 come from an acceptable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the fruits of illegitimate behaviour.
