What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stamford Bridge? Is this really warranted?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Stamford Bridge conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to validate 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 may lead to your lawyer ending their retainer 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 appropriate authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.
The Stamford Bridge conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Stamford Bridge have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family Stamford Bridge lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
