ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) REQUIREMENTS – ADMINISTRATION FEE PAYABLE Under HMRC supervision and in accordance with current Anti-Money Laundering Regulations, Estate Agents are legally required to undertake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all sellers and prospective purchasers. These mandatory checks form part of the conveyancing process and are designed to help prevent financial crime and protect all parties involved in a property transaction.

Once an offer has been accepted (subject to contract), all prospective purchasers will be required to complete an identification and verification process. This will typically include the provision of photographic identification, proof of address and evidence of the source of funds being used to complete the purchase.

To cover the cost of the verification and screening process, a non-refundable AML administration fee is payable. THE FEE IS £24.00 (INCLUDING VAT) PER PURCHASER. The checks are carried out securely by a specialist third-party provider on our behalf and, for this purpose, Harrison Boothman will need to share relevant personal information with that provider. Please note that this is not a credit check and will not affect your credit rating or credit score. All information provided will be processed securely and confidentially in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

In accordance with current regulations and our compliance obligations, we are unable to mark a property as "Under Offer" or "Sold Subject to Contract" until all purchasers have satisfactorily completed the AML verification process. If you have any questions regarding the above process, a member of our team will be pleased to assist.
