Money from Abroad

My apologies but I did not understand your response.
"There cant be because its too easily evadable".
Would be able to explain it?
Regards
Sure;
"Its illegal to accept money from Bank of Cyprus"
Money transferred from Bank of Cyprus to Barclays Basingstoke.
Accepts money from Barclays Basingstoke
letter of law followed, law evaded.
Makes no sense the latter would be legal if the former is illegal, if its that trivial to evade it.. So, QED, it cannot be illegal because if it was there would be a lot more checks in place to ensure such a transfer could not happen and so your solicitor wouldnt be saying its OK if the money came from your account after being transferred.0 -

Not so, because there are many posts here where people had to show the money trail as to how the money got into their account. Otherwise, this would make a mockery of money laundering laws "But M'Lud, the money came from Honest Johns account, not Harry The Loan Shark".0 -

In my case, whatever the solicitor requests to check the source of the funds it will be provided: bank statement for the last 15 years if necessary, official tax reports, investment account statements.0 -
If they're paying 10%, I'm presuming the OP means exchange, not completion.foxy-stoat wrote: »You can try but seeing as you have exchanged you are at the mercy of your legal professional and if they wont accept what you are saying you will have to comply or risk pulling out of the sale and getting sued by the vendors.2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0
