What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Broadstone? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign should stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.
