Important Notes Please see all the notes below – particularly the section referring to identity and AML requirements

Identity verification & Anti Money Laundering (AML) Requirements. As Estate Agents we are require by law to undertake Anti Money Laundering (AML) Regulation checks on any purchaser who has an offer accepted on a property. We are required to use a specialist third party service to verify the purchaser(s) identity. The cost of these checks is £60 (inc. VAT) per person. This is payable at the point an offer is accepted and our purchaser information forms completed, prior to issuing Memorandum of Sales to both sellers and buyers and their respective conveyancing solicitors. This is a legal requirement and the charge is non-refundable.

P.S. A few extra comments. Mortgages – we can help. Bridging loans – We can help. Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing. Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers. Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress. Call us for information on any of these points
