To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Old Malden conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account showing where you live.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to validate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Just acquired a terraced house in Old Malden , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Old Malden conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Old Malden is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
