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’.
