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

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Southwater conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing where you live.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to check not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Southwater , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Southwater conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.
