Money for Solicitor

Hi

I have a question when declaring your deposit to your solicitor they need to see where it has come from. I have a number of sources ie a income bond and some money that my parents are lending me for the deposit. What do they look for when they ask for proof of where the money has come from just out of interest?

    They're basically interested in proof that you haven't derived the funds from your Peruvian Marching Powder export business, or the side line you have in international arms dealing.

    They simply want traceable funds to satisfy the anti money laundering laws.
  • just out of interest?
