Anti Money Laundering Checks And Offer Acceptance - We are required by HMRC to undertake Anti Money Laundering checks on all prospective buyers once a price and terms have been agreed. The cost payable by the successful buyer for this is £30 (inclusive of VAT) per named buyer. To confirm, these checks are carried out through Landmark Information Group. We are also required to obtain identification from all prospective buyers, and we will ask to see proof of funding. Please note that the property will not be marked as Sold Subject To Contract until the checks have been satisfactorily completed so therefore buyers are asked for their co-operation in order that there is no delay.
