Solicitor Not Accepting Screenshots For House Completion
15 Answers
We are due to complete a house purchase and have provided the solicitor screenshots of the passage of funds from our savings account to our current account to the solicitors account. Because we are between statement dates we don't currently have savings account/current account statements that show the transactions, so we did screenshots of each stage of the process, which the solicitor is not accepting as sufficient, while the two banks say they can't generate ad hoc statements in time. So we are caught in the middle. Anyone experienced this or can think of something we haven't yet?

It's to do with conforming to anti-money laundering regulations. They don't have a sufficiently complete paper trail without the detail shown on a statement. Frustratingly, the info we can access between statement issues doesn't show the detail.
Update: while writing the above they've confirmed they will accept the info sent so far and happy to await the statements after completion. Phew!

@wolf63 As you can see it's moot now but our problem was that while we could access and download statements the latest ones pre-dated the transactions, and the two banks concerned can't do ad hoc statements to order. But never mind. In the absence of any other hurdles, tomorrow we will own outright our forever home. Well, 'forever' until such time as we need to go into assisted accommodation.
MLR are here to stay I am afraid
the consequences of laundering are pretty horrendous and so they make up rules ( gold plating) as well.
I had to prove each time who I was ( same firm) and used the same documents they already had on record. I asked why and the receptionist gave me yappity yappity yap- worse than AB !
( you know: long entry that is inconsistent and makes no sense at all)
