Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Edenthorpe
