Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance

In accordance with UK legislation, we are legally required to carry out Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all sellers and purchasers. These checks become mandatory once an offer has been accepted on a property (subject to contract).

Buyer AML: A fee of £30 + VAT per person is payable for the buyer AML check.  We use a trusted third-party compliance provider to conduct these checks on our behalf. Once your offer has been accepted (subject to contract), you will be contacted directly to complete a secure online verification process.
