It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Romiley. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing deal if you have not supplying proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper section as well as the photo card part, one is not acceptable in the absence of the other.

Your Romiley conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they may also ask further queries concerning the source of monies.
