For buyers
ClearSource writes one independent report that answers their questions. You upload your records once, instead of trading emails for weeks. Here’s what you’ll need, and what happens to it.
Everything that shows how the money got from your bank, into crypto, and back to your bank. Missing something? Upload what you have and tell us. Gaps can often be filled from on-chain records.
A full export from every exchange you’ve used, such as Coinbase, Kraken or Binance. Choose the complete history, not a date range. Most exchanges have it under Reports, Statements or Tax documents.
The public receive address for any hardware or software wallet you used (Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask and so on). It usually starts with bc1, 1, 3 or 0x.
Statements showing the money you used to buy crypto, and the money arriving back from the exchange before it went to your conveyancer. PDF downloads from online banking are fine.
A tax-software export (Koinly, Recap and similar), payslips or invoices if you were paid in crypto, or a note about crypto received as a gift.
If anyone claiming to be ClearSource asks for these, don’t reply. Call your conveyancer on a number you already have.
Your conveyancer starts the process. After that, most of the work is ours.
They send us your name, the deposit amount and their matter reference.
We email you a secure link with a checklist. Upload what you have, in one go or over a few days.
We follow the money on-chain and through each exchange, screen the wallets, and match it to your bank. If anything doesn’t join up, we’ll email you a specific question.
Usually within 48 hours of complete documents. Ask them if you’d like a copy.
Your conveyancer will tell you which applies to you.

Complex histories

DeFi, cross-chain bridges or 10+ wallets. You’ll get a fixed quote before any work starts, and nothing is charged until you agree.
We see only what you upload, use it only for this report, and delete it afterwards.
Public addresses and exports let us see your transaction history. They can’t be used to move or spend anything.
Only the firm that instructed us. They may share it with your lender as part of the purchase.
We check every wallet in the trail against sanctions lists and known risk sources. It’s done on every case and doesn’t mean anyone suspects you.
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and only the analysts on your case can open them.
Your files are deleted 90 days after the report is delivered, unless your conveyancer needs us to keep them longer.
We handle your data under UK GDPR on behalf of your conveyancer. Ask them, or us, if you want to know what we hold.
If yours isn’t here, ask your conveyancer to put you in touch.
No. A public address and an exchange export only show history. Nothing we receive can be used to move funds, which is why we never ask for keys or passwords.
Not necessarily. Blockchain records are permanent, and exchanges can usually re-issue exports. Upload what you have and tell us what’s missing. If a gap can’t be closed, the report says so plainly rather than hiding it.
That’s fine. It may count as a complex case, and you’ll get a fixed quote before we start.
Include whatever shows that: a message, an invoice or a payslip. We trace from the point it reached you and note where it came from.
No. It’s a source-of-funds report for your purchase. It goes only to the firm that instructed us.
It comes from ClearSource by email once your conveyancer has instructed us. If it hasn’t arrived within a working day, check your spam folder, then ask your conveyancer.
