We are buying a flat and the lawyers we have assigned to do the legal bits are asking for very personal information, for example 6 months bank statements. They have mentioned "money laundering regulations". I am not convinced that the privately assigned lawyers are arbiters of what may constitute money laundering and I believe they have no right, and no business to be poking their noses. Same goes for proof of ID etc, basically anything they ask me I would think "who wants to know" and unless it is the IR or the LR they can go away.
What do you think ?
