Key Facts for Buyers:

Important Anti-Money Laundering Information for Prospective Buyers
Please be advised that in order to comply with HMRC Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, all individuals involved in the purchase of a property will be required to provide identification at the point of when the sale is agreed and before the release of the ‘Memorandum of Sale’ to the solicitors. This ID verification will be conducted through Millbanks chosen AML provider, ‘Guild 365.’ via an app. The process will incur a cost of £45.00 per individual, inclusive of VAT, and will be facilitated via a link that also enables payment. We appreciate your cooperation in providing the necessary information to ensure compliance with HMRC AML requirements.

The information given in these particulars is intended to help you decide whether you wish to view this property and to avoid wasting your time in viewing unsuitable properties. We have tried to make sure that these particulars are accurate, but to a large extent we have to rely on what the seller tells us about the property. We do not check every single piece of information ourselves as the cost of doing so would be prohibitive and we do not wish to unnecessarily add to the cost of moving house.
" Once you find the property you want to buy, you will need to carry out more investigations into the property than it is practical or reasonable for an estate agent to do when preparing sale particulars. For example, we have not carried out any kind of survey of the property to look for structural defects and would advise any homebuyer to obtain a surveyor's report before exchanging contracts. If you do not have your own surveyor, we would be pleased to recommend one. We have not checked whether any equipment in the property (such as central heating) is in working order and would advise homebuyers to check this. You should also instruct a solicitor to investigate all legal matters relating to the property (e.g. title, details of tenure, planning permission etc.) as these are specialist matters in which estate agents are not qualified. Your solicitor will also agree with the seller what items (e.g. carpets, curtains etc.) will be included in the sale."
