ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING
REQUIREMENTS
HOW DO THE MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS IMPACT ESTATE AGENTS?
We are legally obliged to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and are supervised by HM Revenue and Customs.
WHAT IS MONEY LAUNDERING?
Money laundering is the process used to disguise the origins of funds generated by illicit or criminal activities and making the funds appear to have come from a legitimate source. Property is widely recognised as an attractive target for those wanting to hide the proceeds of crime
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?
In the same way that you are required to prove your identity when opening a new bank account, if we are assisting you with the buying, selling, letting, renting of land or property or providing you with accountancy services, we will also need to see certain documentation. If you do not provide the information and /or documentation we request, unfortunately we will not be able to go ahead with the transaction.
