It is possible that they could have conducted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Knaresborough conveyancing solicitor.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Knaresborough? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you are unwilling to supply identification documents, your lawyer can not take you on as a client.
