Anti-Money Laundering
Should you wish to proceed with an offer on this property, we are obligated by HMRC to conduct mandatory Anti-Money Laundering Checks. We outsource these checks to our compliance partners at Coadjute and they charge a fee for this service. We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property as prescribed by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Coadjute who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £33.00 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Coadjute, and is non-refundable. Lacy Scott & Knight do not receive any commission for this payment/service.
