Money laundering checks

This Money Laundering requirement has me extremely worried too as I really can't see how we can demonstrate where our deposit is coming from without providing bank statements for the last six years or so.
All but 5k of our 24k deposit is from savings over time from various accounts, some of which have since been closed. We also have a £5k "gift" from my father, will we need to prove up how he's accumulated the £5k? We've asked our solictor how we need to prove how our deposit has been sourced, but I fear it may be very difficult.
It all seems incredibly invasive.
Mine was all built up over time from saving, just showed them a statement covering last 12 months, and they were fine with that.0 -
Thanks all for the advice, I'll type up a letter for my Dad to sign and they can have statements for last 12 months - hopefully that will suffice.0
