Why this matters for your transaction
For property and corporate transactions, verifying the source of funds is a required part of the legal process. Work cannot progress until this information has been provided and reviewed.
In many cases, this is handled through a series of emails and follow-up requests, which can slow transactions down.
Origin provides a more structured approach, helping you supply the right information at the outset so your transaction can proceed without unnecessary interruption.
Delays at this stage are one of the most common reasons transactions slow down.
