ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) COMPLIANCE

In line with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, all estate agents are required to verify the identity and legitimate source of funds of every purchaser. We conduct these checks through an independent, specialist service provider, alongside our own internal due diligence. A fee of £18 (£15 + VAT) per purchaser applies once an offer is agreed in principle. Purchasers must complete the digital ID verification and provide evidence of funds or financial capability before a memorandum of sale is issued and the property’s status is updated to ‘Sale Agreed’ or ‘Sold STC’.
